You love as well as you are willing to be inconvenienced.

God’s purposes are not for me to understand His plans: His plan is for me to understand Who He is.

Really, the greatest compliments about a book [One Thousand Gifts] are never about the book, or the author of the book, but about the reader and God and how the pages helped them connect at a deeper level.

The busyness of your life leaves little room for the source of your life.

I receive grace. And through me, grace could flow on. Like a cycle of water in continuous movement, grace is meant to fall, a rain...again, again, again. I could share the grace, multiply the joy, extend the table of the feast, enlarge the paradise of His presence. I am blessed. I can bless.

Our [people's] very saving is associated with our gratitude. Which follows: if our fall in the garden was ingratitude, then salvation must be intimately related to giving of thanks.

Satan’s sin becomes the first sin of all humanity: the sin of ingratitude. Adam and Eve are, simply, painfully, ungrateful for what God gave. Isn’t that the catalyst of all my sins? Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.

Holy joy lies in the habit of murmuring thanks to God for the smallest of graces.

In a world addicted to speed, I blur the moments into one unholy smear.

More important than a clean house is a close family.

It's habits that can imprison you and it's habits that can free you. But when thanks to God becomes a habit - so joy in God becomes your life.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.

The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer.

Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, it turns out far better if you give them a piece of your heart.

Every day, with every word, we get to decide: Do we mar the world, or mark the world?

God gives us time. And who has time for God?
