To be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people. That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.

If I use the Bible to prove I am right, I have yet to be humbled by the beautiful truths of the Bible.
Donald Miller
Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. And even if they secretly want for something better.
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.
