More quotes by Donald Miller
The mountains themselves call us into greater stories.
Donald Miller
When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better.
Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
Job found contentment and even joy, outside the context of comfort, health or stability. He understood the story was not about him, and he cared more about the story then he did about himself.
Donald Miller
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
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
I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me
Donald Miller
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
Donald Miller
The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.
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.
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
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't cute or neat. It was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. There was wonder in it and enchantment.
Donald Miller
Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.
Donald Miller
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.
Donald Miller
The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It's not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom.
Donald Miller
...she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
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.
