Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“God loves us faithfully. He loves me and he loves you just as we are, today, right now, right here, no matter where we are or what’s going on in our lives. God listens to our words and hears the quiet whispers in our hearts. Each of us is given the opportunity to have a unique relationship with God.”
Lizzie Velásquez, Be Beautiful, Be You

“Loving God and being open to him will change your life. Even the smallest step toward God will be rewarded by his grace.”
Lizzie Velásquez, Be Beautiful, Be You

“It is fine to be who you are. It is a good thing not to be just like everybody else. What makes you unique is what makes you beautiful, because it’s what makes you you. And the world needs you, exactly as you are. That’s the truth, plain and simple.”
Lizzie Velásquez, Dare to Be Kind: How Extraordinary Compassion Can Transform Our World
