Hold on to your dreams for they are, in a sense, the stuff of which reality is made. It is through our dreams that we maintain the possibility of a better, more meaningful life.

Don't fall in love with the blessings. Fall in love with the Blessor. Seek first the Kingdom & God will reward you!

Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.

God made you to be great so He wants you to pursue greatness. But this pursuit must include trust and faith in Him. Your desire for God must be greater than your desire for success.

Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.

Since holiness is the main thing that excites, draws, and governs all gracious affections, it is no wonder that all such affections tend to holiness. That which men love, they desire to have and to be united to, and possessed of. That beauty which men delight in, they desire to be adorned with. Those acts which men delight in, they necessarily incline to do.

There is no comfort, I find, in any enjoyment, without enjoying God, and being engaged in his service.

When our hearts turn from the Lord, they always turn toward foolishness, to things that won't satisfy and to seasons that will be filled with regret. When our hearts turn from the Lord, we move toward implosion.

It's only logical that if God always answered our prayers as we wanted him to, those answers to our prayers could hardly be considered miraculous. They would only be part of a predictable system that we could manipulate, if only we knew how. It really makes God not God, but a "God" or a god whom we are ultimately able to control through our efforts, whether via prayer or via our "moral" actions designed to elicit a favorable response.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this; decide what you want.

I would have loved to have been in a Hitchcock movie.

Prophecy will confirm and broaden the vision; it cannot create one if nothing is there. Vision is created through prayer, seeking God and sharing our hearts with people in the work. If these things are absent we need to be restoring people to God, not creating vision for empty hearts.
