If I thought that God was asking something of me, I've always tried to respond positively. I never thought I'd be out here in Chicago. I never thought that I would be a bishop. But when you say "yes" to God, there are all kinds of surprises along the way - and they're good.

Sometimes God Presents Opportunities That Look Insignificant Or Rather Ordinary. Perhaps You Don't See How They Fit Into The Big Picture For Your Life. But If God Is Asking You To Do Something, He Has A Purpose For It.

Often the very things that you think have disqualified you are the ones that qualify you to do what God has called you to do.

My discernment was that I really want to do the will of God. How I was asked — I felt this was God's will. My position, not only in this, but in life, is that when God is asking me to do something, I want to look for ways to say yes.

The greatest lesson life has taught me is to fear God. Once you fear God you will approach everything in life with the fear of God, therefore you wouldn’t do what you are not supposed to do.

With God's grace, you have to tackle and carry out the impossible, because anybody can do what is possible.

When God talks, you got to listen, and I swear life is funny. Because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the things that you needed most. And in this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down.

When God is going to do something wonderful, He or She always starts with a hardship; when God is going to do something amazing, He or She starts with an impossibility.

You've promised that if we come to You and ask something in faith, that You'll do it.

Life is full of questions, and we are free to ask them, to understand, occasionally, that we are not going to get an answer, or at least not the answer we expect, and then we are called to move on. But I believe that God encourages us to ask questions.

Life has taught me to be determined, to be focused and to rely on God. Everything I have passed through is a lesson. I don’t think I regret any part of my life because I saw it as a lesson to prepare me for greater heights. Again, when you have God, you have peace of mind because no matter the life challenge, there is always hope because with God all things are possible. So, nothing really bothers me. I have gone through a lot to let anything bother me because I have God who is always by my side.

Do you know, sir, it is God who has planted such doubts in you. That is His way of putting you to the test

I TRUST THAT GOD WILL HELP ME, BECAUSE WHAT I’M SUPPOSED TO DO LOOKS VERY HARD.
