Quotes about Energy

Part of our motivation in life is having a future that we can look forward to. Your future is summed up in your dreams and visions: dreams of what can be and visions of what will be. Your vision is what you see before you actually see it. Your passion is what you feel that motivates you to pursue the vision or dream. When a person has no vision or passion, he or she will have a boring existence. With a vision but no passion a person will eventually lose energy to pursue their dream.

But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.
