Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren
Image
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Rick Warren
Image
Regardless of the cause, none of your problems could happen without God's permission.
Rick Warren
Image
Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.
Rick Warren

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
