I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use. I need that much downtime.

More quotes by Donald Miller
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it's enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.

What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.

We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.

All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.

Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.

The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.

To change the world you'll need a pen.

I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.

There are two types of men in this world--one is looking for a woman to make his life complete and the other is looking for a woman to join his complete life.

She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.

I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.

I think we can provide better stories through providing mentors, and certainly part of my story is providing mentors to kids growing up without dads. I think positive male role models go a long way in terms of rescuing kids from a life of trouble.I think positive male role models go a long way in terms of rescuing kids from a life of trouble.

the times we worked harder to make the day stand out. our story demanded that we change and so we did.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.
