Quote

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.

So many people say, I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be. Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste. I'm going to look at what's right and not what's wrong in my life. I'm alive, I'm healthy, and you know, a good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

I believe God's keeping the records, and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life. Somehow, some way, God will make it up to you. It may be He protected you from an accident you never knew. You can't give God something without God giving you more in return, whether it's peace or joy or satisfaction.
