Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God mediation lets God speak to you.
Rick Warren
Image
I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
Rick Warren
Image
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.
Rick Warren
Image
There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.
Rick Warren
Image
The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
Rick Warren
Image
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
Rick Warren
Image
You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.
Rick Warren
Image
Where the grass is greener, the water bill is bigger.
Rick Warren
Image
In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
Rick Warren
Image
Everybody wants confidence but you don't find it in self help books. You find confidence in the Holy Spirit.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
Image
Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
Rick Warren
Image
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
Rick Warren
Image
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.
Rick Warren
Image
If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.
