"A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven."

"God doesn't mock us. He never gives us a goal that we cannot accomplish in His strength. I want to assure you, you can glorify God, you MUST glorify God. But you have to determine deep within your heart that you're going to do it His way."

"Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience."

"If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings."
