"Humanity's greatest need is not happiness, but the fulfillment of God's glory. People pursue happiness, yet often fall into disappointment and emptiness. Only in God's glory can our hearts find true satisfaction and rest. Although this path is sometimes difficult and misunderstood by the world, it is the only way to eternal joy."

"Intercessory prayer is not about bringing your own desires before God, but about allowing God's will to enter the lives of others through you.
