“God gave me my talent and I was afraid of facing him one day if I didn't use it.”

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.”

“God gave me this enormous talent, but He forgot to give me the courage to use it." ... "I don't think God forgot," Justin said. "I think He simply gave you a challenge that you haven't yet conquered.”

“God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for my days of doubt.For when I think I've lost my way, there are no words here left to say, it's true.God gave me you.”

“So, one day I gave in. You know, I'm always ashamed that I gave in, because I didn't believe in it, and I didn't do right-- was only satisfying what somebody else wanted, and that's not really me.”

“People often say "God gave you two ears but only one mouth because He wants you to listen twice as much as you talk." Using that same argument, God gave me 104 keys on my keyboard, but only one mouse cursor. I guess He wants me to write more than I surf.”
