When the world does its level best to devalue me in ways that are nothing short of brutal, all it does is evidence my value. For why would it expend such massive amounts of energy attempting to destroy something that’s not there?

If we fail to instill a fixed sense of confidence in our children, we will raise handicapped children who have no handicap other than the conviction that they believe they do.

If I am not at 'peace', then I can be altogether confident that I've placed a larger 'piece' of myself in the hands of someone other than God.

Pretending is the outcome of desperately wanting to achieve something, but forfeiting it to the whimsy of imagination because we lack the faith to believe that we could achieve it. And if we actually started to pretend that we could achieve it, in time maybe we wouldn’t have to pretend anymore.

The only reason I can’t jump in and engage life is that I’ve told myself I can’t. Yet I can’t helping wondering would happen if I told myself I could?

Any dream that I am absolutely confident I can achieve should immediately be discarded for the simple reason that it is simply too small.

The challenge is never based on the size of the obstacle that stands before me. Rather, it is dictated by the degree of faith that rests within me.
