A rebirth out of spiritual adversity causes us to become new creatures.

Every trial and experience you have passed through is necessary for your salvation.

The tests of life are not to break you but to make you.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at time of challenge and controversy.

I love my life and it takes every step to get to where you are, and if you are happy, then God bless the hard times it took you to get there. No life is without them, so what are yours, and what did you do with the lessons? That is the only way to live.
