Quote

Every creative person, and I think probably every other person, faces resistance when they are trying to create something good...The harder the resistance, the more important the task must be.

The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.

I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.

It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.

Image
I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.

When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better.

If I use the Bible to prove I am right, I have yet to be humbled by the beautiful truths of the Bible.

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.

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.

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.

I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

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.

Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.

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.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.

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

And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.

Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.
