A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.

It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them - all of the lawmakers - have hearts to do what's right, and they all are passionate about it.

I like to start my day off every morning, take the first half hour and just search my own heart, see if I'm on the right course, try to be honest with myself - am I doing this for the right reasons?

I just wanted to get the message that God had put into my heart into another form, because I knew the print media would reach a different group of people.

Life's too short to spend it trying to keep others happy. You can't please everyone. To fulfill your destiny, stay true to your heart.

We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.

We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.

Life is short. You can't afford to put off what God has put in your heart. You don't have time to live with things holding you back.

Faith is not in your head. Faith is in your heart. Sometimes you have to turn your mind off and listen to your heart.

We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.

Only God can look at somebody's heart.

A grateful heart is like a sponge that soaks up God's goodness.

A merry heart is good like a medicine.

God planted a dream in your heart for a reason. No one else can dream it for you. No one else will accomplish it for you.

That's what I feel like I'm called to do - to plant a seed of hope in people's hearts.

God honors obedience, and He has distinct plans for us. I think the dreams that God puts in our hearts, we can fulfill. He's equipped us for that.

Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.

When God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, He’s offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person’s life. You must learn to follow that love. Don’t ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have.

You need to follow your own heart in light of God’s word and do what you feel is right and good for you.

When God puts something in your heart and deep down you know it’s a destiny moment, don’t wait for ten confirmations. Do what God is asking you to do now.

Sometimes in life, a fog sets in and you don't know which way is the right direction. Every voice may tell you it's not going to happen, but God has placed a promise in your heart. Refuse to listen to those voices. Keep believing.

The moment God put a dream in your heart, the moment the promise took root, God not only started it, but He set a completion date.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.

Love overlooks a person’s faults. That’s not always easy, but love believes the best in every person. Anybody can return evil for evil, but God wants His people to help heal wounded hearts.

You have to learn to follow your heart. You can’t let other people pressure you into being something that you’re not. If you want God’s favor in your life, you must be the person He made you to be, not the person your boss wants you to be, not even the person your parents or your husband wants you to be. You can’t let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart.

Be careful with whom you associate, especially when you feel emotionally vulnerable, because negative people can steal the dream right out of your heart.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that what that person did was right or that you even have to get back into a relationship with that person. Forgiveness simply releases the debt they owe you so that God can release the debt you owe Him. Ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if there is any unforgiveness blocking His blessing in your life. Ask Him to show you more about this gift of forgiveness so that you can walk in the freedom and victory He has for you today.

God would not have put a dream in your heart if He had not already given you everything you need to fulfill it.

God knows the dreams and desires in your heart; in fact, He gave them to you. He will order your steps and take you where you need to be.

You are full of potential. You are overflowing with creativity. There's nothing in your heart that you cannot accomplish.

Take your dreams and the promises God has put in your heart, and every day declare that they will come to pass.

Many people are unhappy and are not experiencing life to its fullest because they’ve closed their hearts to compassion, they are motivated by only what they want and what they think they need. They rarely do anything for anybody else unless they have an ulterior goal in mind. They are self-involved and self-centered.

I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm here to encourage them. I see myself more as a coach, as a motivator to help them experience the life God has for us.

The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. Sometimes you have to get out of that environment in order to see your dream fulfilled.

God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.

Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you're supposed to be.

The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go... if it's not a part of your God-given destiny.

Life's too short to spend it trying to keep others happy. You can't please everyone. To fulfill your destiny, stay true to your heart.

Winning is in your DNA. The most high God breathed His life into you. You've got what it takes. This is your time. This is your moment. Shake off doubts, shake off fear and insecurity, and get ready for favor, get ready for increase, get ready for the fullness of your destiny. You can, you will!!

Every one of us has secret dreams and desires along with seeds of greatness implanted within us. You too have gifts to share with this world. There is buried treasure within you, waiting to be discovered. Your full potential has not been released yet. Your God-given divine destiny awaits you.

No bad break, no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my divine destiny.

If they left you, you didn't need them. If they walked away, they weren't part of your DESTINY.

We can all control our own destiny. And I think sometimes it's a copout to say, "Well, it's this person's fault or another person's fault."

Your destiny is not determined by your critics. Focus on running your own race.

Your destiny is too great, your assignment too important, your time too valuable. Don't let fear intimidate you.

You have a destiny to fulfill, something greater than you've ever even imagined. But if you're going to become all you were created to be, you've got to take off the “average” label.

Your time is too valuable, your destiny is too great, and your future is too bright to waste a single moment. Be a now person.

You didn't accidentally get your personality, looks and gifts. You were designed on purpose to be the way you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.

When God puts something in your heart and deep down you know it’s a destiny moment, don’t wait for ten confirmations. Do what God is asking you to do now.

What others say and do cannot stop you from fulfilling your destiny. Your destiny was handed down by Almighty God.
