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.

The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.

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.

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.

Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.

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.

Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.

It is worthy of note that the Chinese and Japanese characters for money and gold are the same.

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.

Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?

The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.

Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.

You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.

It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.

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.

If you don't feel free and be yourself, you can't connect. Find people who accept your quirks. They'll heal your soul.

I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.

She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.
