"Blessed are those who are pure, not only on the surface but in the center of their being and at the source of every activity."-Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Paraphrase of the Beatitude)

Sometimes we have to look up mutely to God and say, "I don't understand it at all, but I go on with what You are doing." That marks a real stage of learning to trust in God. Spiritual experience has begun; suffering has already deepened the soul.-Oswald Chambers

"You have no business fooling with them people! God didn't create you and take you through everything He's taken you through for you to be living like you're living. You're better than this. God has a plan and a program for your life, and it does not include what you're doing right now!"-TDJ

 

"Decisions become easier when your will to please God outweighs your will to please the world."-Anso  Coetzer

"You will never find out what you’ve got, what you can do, and what you can become as long as you’re comfortable in less than what you could have been."-TDJ

 

"Without pain, there would be no change. But pain, just like everything in life, is meant to be learned from and then released."-Mandy Hale

"I love it when somebody sees me, screams my name, and runs to hug me."

“Somehow we’ve come to believe that greatness is only for the chosen few, for the superstars. The truth is, greatness is for us all. This is not about lowering expectations; it’s about raising them for every last one of us. Greatness is not in one special place, and it’s not in one special person. Greatness is wherever somebody is trying to find it.”-Nike



"No relationship is ever a waste of time. If it didn't bring you what you want, it taught you what you don't want."

"The amazing thing about being saved is that as many weaknesses and mistakes we make, sometimes you wonder...am I really saved or not. But, when you go back and look at who you WERE and who you ARE now, you got to admit that a substantial change has occurred in your life. It may not be complete, it may not be finished yet, but it has begun in your life...and, without a shadow of a doubt, you are not who you WERE."-TDJ

 

"Watching people leave is hard. But it’s harder remembering that time when they promised they wouldn’t."

"Wake up motivated. Not everybody made it to today, so don't take your time for granted."-Tony Gaskins

"God never performs miracles through what you lost. If you keep looking back at what you lost, you’re like a priest touching a corpse. There is so much you have left in you, things you’ve never even tapped, but you spend your time dwelling on things you lost, so your history is killing your destiny. If it is over, it is over!"-TDJ

 

"I hate it when I'm singing along to a song and the artist gets the words wrong."

"Crying is how your body speaks when your mouth can't explain the pain you feel."

"If you want to get over being tired and weary, learn how to go to God on a regular basis. The minute you feel like you can’t take it anymore, go spend a little time with God."-Joyce Meyer

“It’s not so bad you know, those emotional moments and the random times you have to shed a tear. In fact, there’s nothing wrong at all. It’s unrealistic to expect endless sunshine sparkles in your life cos’ rain is necessary. We all need to irrigate the seeds of our thoughts, smoothen the gradient of our souls, and wet our appetite for life. So no, I won’t apologize or pity myself for the rain. I won’t apologize for growth.”

"A bad day is not a failure and it’s not forever. It’s just a bad day. Get back on track and don’t give up. Tomorrow is a new day."-TDJ

 

 

"What is a problem if God is there? I hear many people talking about the acts of God, but have you ever considered the mere presence of God? He doesn't have to do anything but be there and it's all over!"-TDJ

"If you would get deeper in love with God, you wouldn’t be thirsty for the love from people, because even the best of us are going to let you down...and if you live long enough, you are gonna let yourself down. But, the God I serve...He never fails."-TDJ

 

“The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours.”―Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"God is too wise to leave your future attached to the fickleness of people. Stop worshiping people and what they think. You don’t think you’re worshiping people but when you worry about what they think, you are worshiping their opinion as if their opinion will determine your destiny. Your destiny has been predetermined by a divine God who supersedes your circumstances or your situation."-TDJ

 

"Worship washes out your spirit, worship renews your mind. In fact, you can’t worship and be anything at the same time.When you start worshiping God, He flirts through your soul. He gives you peace. He gives you your stability back. And, while you sit there with your lips glued together and your mummified self, too cute to worship, you’re missing the best therapy that your soul needs."-TDJ
