And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.

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
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.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
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
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.
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.

Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something.
Donald Miller
I'm the kind of person who wants to present my most honest, authentic self to the world, so I hide backstage and rehearse honest and authentic lines until the curtain opens.

I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.

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.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
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
Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.
Donald Miller
Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
I think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling.

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.

Nothing is going to change in congo until you and i figure out what is wrong with the person inside the mirror
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.
