God
(page 4)
Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children.
Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.
I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.
At Harvard I was taking an African-American studies class, and we were reading about the tragic mulatto. Invariably, the tragic mulatto can't fit in either world and flings herself off a bridge. So I'm reading, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, I think I'm in literature', but my life was never like that.
I believe that God made this wonderful universe and all that exists.
If you tell God no because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say yes to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. What matters more than material blessings are the things He is teaching us in our spirit.
On Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say.
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
I am not a conventionally religious man, but in the wilderness I have come closest to finding myself and knowing the universe and accepting God — by which I mean accepting all that I don't know.
I feel that God has given me a very special opportunity that I should not let go to waste. I use the gift he has given me.
It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.
With my victory, I must always remember that I glorify God.
I'm very grateful to God for what he gives me. Victories, remarkable victories, but you have to go through the defeats. That is why I praise God for everything.
A statesman must wait until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment.
I believe that God has blessed me in immeasurable ways so that I can, in return, bless and help others.
Everything that has happened to me in my life has defined who I am, and all of the things leading up to being governor, that all came from overcoming challenges in childhood and overcoming challenges as I got older. When you have God, you quickly understand there's nothing you can't overcome.
Many times, the decisions we make affect and hurt your closest friends and family the most. I have a lot of regrets in that regard. But God has forgiven me, which I am very thankful for. It has enabled me to forgive myself and move forward one day at a time.
Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah, everything is beautiful.
I have a best friend as a husband, and he is my number one supporter. He's a family man, and he's always giving back to God. That is what makes him a beautiful man. We're not perfect by any means, but that makes us beautiful as well. We're not afraid to say we're not perfect. We have our disagreements, but that comes along with marriage.
