We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.

We can't always see people's pain they can always feel our love.

If you get a no from somebody, don't say, 'I'm going to take this as some big cosmic signal.' No, you just got a no, deal with it. Just go to the next step.

Love one another. We don't need more instructions we need more examples.

I know that sounds so circular, but for you, what you were made to do, is different than what I was made to do. But instead of spending all of our time having Bible studies about what we were made to do, go do stuff and you'll figure out what you were made to do, because you'll be great at some things and you'll be terrible at others.

When you are in high school, you don't give much thought to what you can't do. For most people, that gets learned later, and for still fewer, gets unlearned for the rest of life.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.

Don't save up love like you're trying to retire on it give it away like you're made of it.

That's one of those things about love. It always assumes it can find a way to express itself.

Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

The words we speak to each other should leave stretch marks, not bruises. Love is always picky about what it says.

Whimsy doesn't care if you are the driver or the passenger all that matters is that you are on your way.

When you identify with an organization and you want to do stuff [but] you get this inexplicable 'no' - a lot of people get off the end and think, Well, God must have said no to me. No! The organization just said no to you. Find what it is that you were made to do and get on it! Go do what you were made to do.
