It's not always easy to get over some of those bumps in the road, those disillusionments and disappointments. It's going to take a strong will. Sometimes, it may take courage. Sometimes nothing but faith in God and say, I refuse to be trapped in the past. I'm not going to let the past destroy my future. I'm pressing on. I'm straining forward, knowing that God has great things in store for me.

True love is founded in the truth of who God really is.

There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.) And as I lay there, it occurred to me that God is up there somewhere.

I know a little of why there is blood in my body, pumping life into my limbs and thought into my brain. I am wanted by God.

Believe me, David had a checkered career. This is the reason he suffered—he let sin enter his life. But above it all was a faith in God that never failed. He wanted more than all else to have a wonderful relationship with God.

what miserable creatures great men are when they have no high principles within them and no faith in the reality of a God above them.

All you had to do was look up at the stars at night or at a baby's face to know God existed.

Maybe it's because spiritual growth and vibrant faith in God don't happen in isolation, but under pressure.

When you're surrounded by enemies, don't rely on man-made fortifications or military power. Trust God.

No person's rejection can ever exempt me from God's love for me. Period. No question mark. The most beautiful love story ever written is the one you were made to live with God.

If I'm trusting God, I will stare at all the possible ways He'll use this whether I fail or succeed.

The devil turns powerless when our minds turn to our all-powerful God.
