I like gifts. I like to give them and I like to get them.
Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children.
Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!
I don't think even ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence at all.
People who don't know the true character of God - who don't believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger - can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.
It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.
If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future.
Jesus is a divine guest inside of you all the time - one who loves, understands, sees and hears you. He wants to live in oneness with you... to be the centerpiece of everything you do.
The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it.
We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.
I was tormented with guilt for years and years. In fact, it was so bad that if I didn't feel wrong, I didn't feel right!
God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.
There's no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.
I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything... to know what's going on so I can feel like I'm in control.
Some people have a hard time getting rid of stuff. If that's you, pray for God to give you the courage to get rid of things you don't really need or things He wants you to give away. This will help keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.
You see, you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. You have emotions, you have thoughts, you have a will, and you have a conscience. You are a complex being! And Jesus came to heal every single part of you. There's not one part that He doesn't want to make completely whole.
When I ask people to give, I can't be on television if they don't; I can't help people, if I don't - I mean, it takes money.
Sadly, the truth is, there aren't many people who can be put in high positions who won't start thinking highly of themselves.
Nobody likes to have trouble. The moment we get a hint that it's coming, a common response is, 'Oh no! Not again!'
