“If God has the sufferings of his Son in store for you and wants to let you touch with your own finger your own weakness, it is better to make an act of humility than to lose courage.”

“Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.”

“Your actions are your own. Your choices are your own. Each of us carries a burden of guilt for decisions made or not made. You can let that rule your whole life or you can put it behind you and move on. Only a madman lets jealousy determine the course of his existence. Only a weak man blames others for his own errors.”

“The third gift is Courage. May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path.”

“Your folks are god, you love them and you want to make them happy but you still want to make up your own rules.”

“Courage is a decision you make to act in a way that works through your own fear for the greater good as opposed to pure self-interest. Courage means putting at risk your immediate self-interest for what you believe is right.”
