Soul Strength Quotes

“Are you more head-strong or heart-strong? It’s an important question. In another coaching call recently, I was asked to define the difference between head-strong and heart-strong. After fumbling around a moment, I suggested a head-strong leader approaches challenges with a cocky attitude of “I’ve got this!” By contrast, the heart-strong leader lives and leads with the humble conviction, “God’s got this!” Bravado is head up; boldness is heart up. Bravado is haughty; boldness is humble. Goliath had bravado; David had boldness.”

“If you’re going to be used by God, he will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in his hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. …God’s way is always the way of suffering—the way of the long road home.”
