More quotes by Donald Miller
I am human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.
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.

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.

To change the world you'll need a pen.

When I started studying the issue and issues related to fatherlessness, I realized I had all of them. Fear of intimacy, fear of commitment, poor work ethic, just stuff that you don't have when you don't have a man in your life to look you in the eye and say, You're good, or Good job.

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
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.
Donald Miller
There's a genius part of you that wants to create. That part of you wants to talk to God. Get out of the way.
Donald Miller
I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
Donald Miller
One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?
