Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

More quotes by Rick Warren
Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
Rick Warren
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Rick Warren
The Bible says that governments can do things that I'm not supposed to do as an individual. God has not put the law in my hands. He's put the law in the government's hands.
Rick Warren
Humility is not thinking less of yourself it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
Rick Warren
To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.
Rick Warren
When pressure builds up, don't panic. Pray! Prayer is a tremendous stress reliever. It can be your safety valve.
Rick Warren
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
Rick Warren
The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.
Rick Warren
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.
Rick Warren
I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Rick Warren
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
Rick Warren
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
Rick Warren
God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
Rick Warren
Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.
Rick Warren
Take a human body, a male and a female, it is obvious that certain parts are meant together. There is a purpose and a design for it and there is a result of that.
Rick Warren
We must learn to share the gospel in ways that show it is both GOOD and NEWS. The gospel is about what God has done for us and what we can become in Christ
Rick Warren
A father, finding time for what is most important is the true marker of a successful person.
Rick Warren
I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.
Rick Warren
