Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.

One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?

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.

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.

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.

And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.

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.

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.
Donald Miller
Image
Great writers know what to cut out. It's the same in life. Clear ambitions. Clear relationships. This is the stuff of good story.

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

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

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.

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.

It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.
