“Joy is not about looks or personality or a fluent tongue. It is about having the image of God in your countenance and the power of God in your testimony. It is about loving to be on the Lord’s errand.”

“Trying to cut corners and get around rules makes [anyone] miserable. When you‘make yourself mind yourself,’ when you know you are going to do what you sayyou will do, you will know joy.”

“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change”

“Love is more about being the right person than finding the right person.”

“Love makes you crazy. Love crawls into your brain and plays games with your neurons. All the things you thought you knew about yourself fly out the window when love flies in.”

“Worry about tomorrow steals the joy from today.”

“If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.”
