More quotes by Donald Miller
It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.
Donald Miller
It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.
Donald Miller
I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.
Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.
Donald Miller
Moral #1: If you work hard, stay focused, and never give up, you will eventually get what you want in life. Moral #2: Sometimes the things we want most in life are the things that will kill us.
Donald Miller
We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.
Donald Miller
I am human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.
Donald Miller
I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
Donald Miller
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
I think the best thing a person can do is to read through the Gospels in the Bible and really look at Jesus, because if a person does this, they will realize that the Jesus they learned about in Sunday school or the Jesus they hear jokes about or the skinny, Gandhi Jesus that exists in their imaginations isn't anything like the real Jesus at all.
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.
Donald Miller
When a relationship is right, it is no more possible to wake up and want out of the marriage than it is to wake up and stop believing in God. What is, is what is.
Donald Miller
I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.
Donald Miller
The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.
Donald Miller
Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.
Donald Miller
Somehow I had come to believe that because a person is in need, they are candidates for sympathy, not just charity. It was not that I wanted to buy her groceries, the government was already doing that. I wanted to buy her dignity. And yet, by judging her, I was the one taking her dignity away.
Donald Miller
The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
Donald Miller
It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.
Donald Miller
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
Donald Miller
People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.
