You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic

We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
Image
It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.
Donald Miller
Image
We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.

How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?
Donald Miller

The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

Suffering ceases to be suffering when you have a redemptive perspective.

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.

Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.
