Quote

You don't have to fight every battle. You don't have to respond to every critic. You don't have to be offended because of what others say. You can rise above these things and soar.

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.

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.

I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm here to encourage them. I see myself more as a coach, as a motivator to help them experience the life God has for us.

We live in a day that nobody's lived in before: where you can touch more people. The message I'll speak tonight and the message that I speak at home, people in India will hear. It's just an amazing day.

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.

You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.

When you release your faith in uncommon ways, youll see God do uncommon things.
