You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.
I just think that trusting God means we’re going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we’re never going to understand them all.
I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He’s on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.
God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.
So many people are looking at what’s wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what’s right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
I always try to put a seed of hope into people’s hearts. I’m not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.
When you give up yourself, that’s when you will feel the true spirit of Christmas. And that’s giving that’s serving others and that’s when you feel fulfilled.
You may never get to that perfect world that you’re waiting for where everything’s going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.
Slow down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for the people in your life. They won’t always be there.
You may have failed, but you are not a failure. That’s what you did. That’s not who you are.
Indeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.
I’ve always been very happy. I’ve always been easy going and I’ve always been very encouraging; it’s just my personality.
If you cannot get along with yourself, you’ll never be able to get along with other people.
I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.
Don’t focus on the good old days, look forward towards the good new days.
My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.
I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I’ve got a lot of that in me as well.
You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I’m going to be my best right now. That’s what faith is all about.
