1 " Tables aren’t meant for just one person. That’s a desk. A desk only admits one. And who holds a dinner at a desk anyway? "

2 " In a sea of a thousand faces God’s eyes are always locked on us (like the slow-motion scenes of eyes locking in a crowd in the movie The Passion of the Christ). We all tie for first place in His heart and His gaze is firmly set on each of us. Not to put us down when we’re wrong or off, but because He’s enamoured by us. There’s no kinder heart, no kinder eyes and no kinder love than that of God. His words of affirmation over me have always filled my hunger. "
3 " There’s no greater courage and strength that compares to knowing you are loved. "
4 " I want to get paid to be myself. Sounds smart until you realize you're clueless about who you are. "
5 " Why don’t you believe that I chose you? Why do you always feel the need to choose yourself? "— God "
6 " Destiny is a map that lights up with every step you take. "
7 " God can’t bless who you pretend to be. His promises, His blessings need your fingerprint and DNA. "
8 " Fame comes and goes in waves. So we hold our breath and hope to not get carried away. "
9 " I heard God tell me, “The very things you think you did right are the very things you did wrong. "
10 " In a world of fame, followers, likes and paparazzi, we need to aspire to be something other than popular. "
11 " I think the beautiful ones are here with us It’s you, and me. And we’re only invisible because the world’s not looking yet... "
12 " Be sloppy. Commit to learning in front of others. The world isn’t looking at you anyway, right? "
13 " We live a less than life when we remain longer than we should in certain seasons of our lives. "
14 " Why don’t you trust me when I love you?”— Jesus "
15 " All of life is lived in between ellipses. We’re all uniquely shaped punctuation marks to the epic God is writing in the history of mankind. "
16 " There is more than enough room for each one of us — at work, in the sky or ocean. "
17 " Every stage in life is a course in trust. "
18 " It stings sometimes—that feeling of being forgotten and unnoticed. It’s hard to make an entrance when no one’s watching you in the first place. "
19 " It took me a long while to realize it but being unseen didn’t mean I didn’t matter. It didn’t mean that I wasn’t chosen. When you think about it, it all comes down to who’s looking. You don’t need every eye on you. Just the right one. "
20 " We will ask ourselves: Do I matter? And that question will turn our insides out and press heavy on our hearts hoping that the answer is the biggest yes. That we do matter. Small as we are. Unseen and unknown as we are. That we matter. And knowing that should make all the difference in our lives. "
