God
(page 7)
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
I can find God in nature, in animals, in birds and the environment.
I always tell my clients to be tough, to be strong. Never weaken yourself. I believe God favors only strong persons.
Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
Friends are the siblings God never gave us.
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
One of the things I do is try to get a positive message out there in the local schools and tell my story. I also do a lot of faith-based speaking, sharing my story and testimony, to help show what God has done in my life and what he can do in others' lives.
I am grateful to have my life back and for the friends and family who never gave up on me, for a God who was there when I was ready to find him. I am grateful for so much, that every day, one day at a time, is Thanksgiving.
What law, what reason can deny that gift so sweet, so natural that God has given a stream, a fish, a beast, a bird?
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
God is bigger than people think.
Every day, I get closer to God. Every day, my will to do the right thing gets stronger.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.
My dad said, 'Stay humble, and you gotta work harder than everybody else'. My mom said, 'Always be yourself'. She always told me only God can judge me.
