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.

I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.

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.

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.

Lets choose to do something really difficult, something that saves lives, and let's do that thing with people we love.

When we talk about the decline of the American family, I think we have to go back to the Industrial Revolution.

Meaningful stories have lots and lots of conflict. If we avoid conflict, our stories won't be meaningful.

Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.

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.

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.
