The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.
Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.

You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic
Donald Miller
I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
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
Even our beliefs have become trend statements. We don’t even believe things because we believe them anymore. We only believe things because they are cool things to believe.
Donald Miller
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
Donald Miller
...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.
Donald Miller
All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.
Donald Miller
If I have a hope, it's that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say, “Enjoy your place in my story. The beauty of it means you matter, and you can create within it even as I have created you.”
Donald Miller
Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.
Donald Miller
Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.
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
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
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 love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
Donald Miller
When a relationship is right, it is no more possible to wake up and want out of the marriage than it is to wake up and stop believing in God. What is, is what is.
Donald Miller
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.
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.
