I did not make this day, but God did so that I might have the privilege of letting Him use it to make me.

I am aware of what I am, but I am likewise aware of what I am not. And if I’ve refused to let God shape my life, I’m probably not happy with either.

To forget is to render the pages of history as entirely blank, and the lessons of history as never taught.

To refuse to sacrifice may in fact be the greatest sacrifice. For refusing to sacrifice means that I willfully throw away some of the greatest growth that life has to offer me.

While your children are only born once, the process of birthing something into them happens every day thereafter.

I have been driven to desperation more times than I can count. But it is here that I have been driven to the greatest inspiration that I can contain.

The greatest part of God growing us is His need to work against the growth that we have mistaken for growth.

It’s been said that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. And that may be true. However, if I want to grow and be stretched in the journey, I won’t be looking for the straight line.

Faith is the most unexercised muscle known to man.
