Pick Me Quotes - Page 2

• God picks you up. You don't pick yourself up. You're the one who knocked you down or even if somebody else knocked you down, your willingness to believe that what they said had value, was your conspiring with them, with their effort to knock you down - I've never been able to get myself up and I've noticed that every time I ask God to pick me up - he does.

Not because I'm not capable, but I'm also kind of a tomboy, edgy, so I was curious.
