Image
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
Rick Warren
Image
God wanted us to choose to love him.
Rick Warren
Image
The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
Rick Warren
Image
Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.
Rick Warren
Image
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
Rick Warren

Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
Image

Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible offers three metaphors that teach us God's view of life: Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment.
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 are accidental parents, but there are no accidental children. There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate children.
Rick Warren
Image
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
Rick Warren
Image
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Rick Warren
Image
Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Image
When you jump across a canyon, cautious small steps and vacillation won't work. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
Rick Warren
