More quotes by Donald Miller
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.
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 have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.

If I have a hope, it's that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say, “Enjoy your place in my story. The beauty of it means you matter, and you can create within it even as I have created you.”
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.

Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.
Donald Miller
Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
Donald Miller
And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.
Donald Miller
Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
Donald Miller
I listened so hard because it felt like, while she was telling me stories, she was massaging my soul, letting me know that I was not alone, that I will never have to be alone, that there are friends and family and churches and coffee shops. I was not going to be cast into space.
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.
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
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
