More quotes by John Eldredge
But a wound unfelt is a wound unhealed.
John Eldredge
Falling in love with God is the most important thing a person can do.
John Eldredge
A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
John Eldredge
Truth be told, most of us are faking our way through life. We pick only those battles we are sure to win, only those adventures we are sure to handle, only those beauties we are sure to rescue.
John Eldredge
Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.
John Eldredge
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
John Eldredge
You live in a world at war. Spiritual attack must be a category you think in or you will misunderstand more than half of what happens in your marriage.
John Eldredge
Henri Nouwen once asked Mother Teresa for spiritual direction. Spend one hour each day in adoration of your Lord, she said, and never do anything you know is wrong. Follow this and you'll be fine.
John Eldredge
Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.
John Eldredge
So long as man remains no real threat to the Enemy, Satan's line to him is 'You're fine'. But after you do take sides, it becomes 'Your heart is bad and you know it'.
John Eldredge
We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.
John Eldredge
Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.
John Eldredge
The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.
John Eldredge
Moses does not encounter the living God at the mall. He finds Him (or is found by Him) somewhere out in the deserts of Sinai, a long way from the comforts of Egypt... Where did the great prophet Elijah go to recover his strength? To the wild. As did John the Baptist, and his cousin, Jesus, Who is led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
John Eldredge
Story is the language of the heart.
John Eldredge
Most of us live in a fog. It's like life is a movie we arrived to 20 minutes late. You know something important seems to be going on. But we can't figure out the story. We don't know what part we're supposed to play or what the plot is.
John Eldredge
What strikes me about Jesus is that he is a remarkably true person he never changes his personality to fit in with whatever crowd he finds himself. He is simply himself, and he never plays to his audience.
John Eldredge
God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
John Eldredge
Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
John Eldredge
We are made in the image of God we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
