Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

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.
Donald Miller
Image
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
Donald Miller
Image
Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.
Donald Miller
Image
I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
Donald Miller
Image
Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
Donald Miller
