Whatever follows 'I AM' will always come looking for you!

Maybe you’ve invested a lot of time, effort, money, emotion, and energy in a relationship you did your best to make it work out. But for some reason, things got off course. And now you feel as though you have been robbed. When we focus on or disappointments, we stop God from ringing fresh new blessing into our lives.

Hold on to that new, enlarge vision of victory that God has given you. Start expecting things to change in your favor. Dare to boldly declare that you are standing strong against the forces of darkness.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.

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.

If you’re controlled by your circumstances, life is going to be a roller coaster with ups and downs. God wants you to be stable, consistent, not moved by any of these things. When you face an adversity, when you hit a tough time, one of the best things you can do is simply stay calm. Keep your peace.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

You're not really free until you're free from trying to please everybody.

God has already lined up the right people for you, people that will inspire you, challenge you and motivate you. If you’ll let go of the wrong people, then the right people will show up.

I've always been very happy. I've always been easy going and I've always been very encouraging it's just my personality.

We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry don't grow impatient don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

At this very moment, God’s working behind the scenes in your life, arranging things in your favor. Stay in faith!

See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.

Mormonism is a little different, but I still see them as brothers in Christ.

Take time to make a difference. Don't just obsess about how you can make your life better. Think about how you can make somebody else's life better as well.
