If I'm wrong about God then I wasted my life. If you're wrong about God then you wasted your eternity.
If you live for people’s acceptance you will die from their rejection.
People will hurt you. But don't use that as an excuse for your poor choices, use it as motivation to make the right ones.

I think everybody has a purpose. Everybody is made to be a picture of how good and glorious God is, and I think sometimes we'll get it confused and think because we mess up, we make mistakes or we have some blemishes in our record, that our purpose is somehow messed up. But actually that only serves to further paint a picture of how good God is when he uses people who are messed up just like me.
Run after God. Be who you're created to be, and you'll run into the people who are doing the same thing, and those are the people that you'll want to be with.
Before you complain today, be grateful you have breath to complain with.
Peace doesn't mean you won't have problems. It's means problems won't have you.

I got the best of Jesus. He got the worst of me.
Why live for the approval of men when you can have the approval of their Creator? What can they give you that God can't?
