It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.

Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.

Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.

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.

Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. And even if they secretly want for something better.

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

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.

Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down. If you watch the news and there's a tragedy at a house in Kansas, that guy's driveway connects with yours, and you'd be surprised by how few roads it takes to get there.

Most great art is created when the artist feels they are channeling something rather than trying to communicate something.

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.
Donald Miller
Image
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 can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me

People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.

...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.

Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.

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.

I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.

The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.

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.
