Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

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.

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.

Fear isn’t only a guide to keep us safe it’s also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life … the great stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.

It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.

...I should have people around bugging me and getting under my skin because without people I could not grow - I could not grow in God, and I could not grow as a human.

It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.

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

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.

We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.
