The greater your inner light the brighter your outer world.

The world is full of angels; if you can't find one, be one.

To shine always love always.

You were born a star; your deeds determine how brightly you'll shine.

Each one of us should lead a life stirring enough to start a movement.

A friend asks if I know the difference between a saint and a martyr: A saint is someone who radiates goodness and bears no faults. A martyr is someone who lives with a saint.

We don't want people to understand forgiveness or prayer or mission or justice only intellectually. We want people who can forgive, who can hear and respond to God, who actually know Him. We want people who have hearts that break for our world and the people in it and do something about it. We want the kind of people in our communities who resemble the people we see in Scripture.

Above all else, know that good leaders always define their own reality. No one else can build a discipling culture for you—it must begin in your own life and then overflow into the lives of those you lead. You will not be the perfect example, but you can be a living example.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
