“La Biblia usa el término corazón para describir el manojo de deseos, esperanzas, intereses, ambiciones, sueños y afectos que posees, en fin, tus oportunidades. Tu corazón es la fuente de todas tus motivaciones, lo que amas hacer y lo que más cuidas. Aun hoy usamos la palabra de esta manera cuando decimos: «Te amo con todo mi corazón».”

“Can I trust God? Trust is an essential ingredient to surrender. You won’t surrender to God unless you trust him, but you can’t trust him until you know him better. Fear keeps us from surrendering, but love casts out all fear. The more you realize how much God loves you, the easier surrender becomes.”

“Jesus honored God by fulfilling his purpose on earth. We honor God the same way. When anything in creation fulfills its purpose, it brings glory to God.”

“This self-absorbed perspective treats God as a genie who simply exists to serve you in your selfish pursuit of personal fulfillment. But God is not your servant, and if you fall for the idea that life is supposed to be easy, either you will become severely disillusioned or you will live in denial of reality. Never forget that life is not about you! You exist for God’s purposes, not vice versa. Why would God provide heaven on earth when he’s planned the real thing for you in eternity? God gives us our time on earth to build and strengthen our character for heaven.
