“The person who really wants to do something finds a way; the others find an excuse.”
― John Mason, Believe You Can: The Power of a Positive Attitude

“19Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God.g Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”
― Anonymous, NIV Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition

“God may allow us to use some of those things. But we cannot think of them as our own any more. Even if we are living in our own house, we must consider the house as God’s; and that He has allowed us to stay in it rent-free! This is true discipleship.”
― Zac Poonen, Practical Discipleship: The Christian Attitude to Earthly Matters

“Jesus said “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, he cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:26). Those are strong words. What does it mean to ‘hate’? To hate is the same as to kill (1 John 3:15). What we are asked to put to death here is the natural affection that we have for our relatives.”
