More quotes by Donald Miller
By accepting God's love for us, we fall in love with Him, and only then do we have the fuel we need to obey.
Donald Miller
I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.
Donald Miller
The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.
Donald Miller
It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
Donald Miller
Let's show up to life. Let's prove how beautiful it can really be. Let's face the conflict, redeem it, conquer it, and allow it to mold our character. Let's participate in what God is doing in the world.
Donald Miller
...she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.
Donald Miller
The mountains themselves call us into greater stories.
Donald Miller
The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It's not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom.
Donald Miller
No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
Donald Miller
It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.
Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
There's a genius part of you that wants to create. That part of you wants to talk to God. Get out of the way.
Donald Miller
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
Even our beliefs have become trend statements. We don’t even believe things because we believe them anymore. We only believe things because they are cool things to believe.
Donald Miller
Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
Donald Miller
I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.
Donald Miller
When I started studying the issue and issues related to fatherlessness, I realized I had all of them. Fear of intimacy, fear of commitment, poor work ethic, just stuff that you don't have when you don't have a man in your life to look you in the eye and say, You're good, or Good job.
Donald Miller
Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.
Donald Miller
I had always suspected language was quite limited in its ability to communicate the intricate mysteries of truth.
