Demanding respect is like chasing a butterfly. Chase it, and you'll never catch it. Sit still, and it may light on your shoulder.

You come before the judgment seat of God full of rebellion and mistakes. Because of his justice he cannot dismiss your sin, but because of his love he cannot dismiss you. So, in an act which stunned the heavens, he punished himself on the cross for your sins. God’s justice and love are equally honored. And you, God’s creation, are forgiven.

The idea of a spiritual heart transplant is a vivid image to me once you have the heart of somebody else inside you, then that heart is there. Jesus' heart is inside me, and my heart is gone. So if God were to place a stethoscope against my chest, he would hear the heart of Jesus Christ beating.

Max Lucado
God is kind, but he is not soft. He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change.
Max Lucado
You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you.
Max Lucado
Do you understand what God has done? He has deposited a Christ seed in you. As it grows you will change. It's not that sin has no more presence in your life, but rather that sin has no more power over your life.
Max Lucado
One phrase summarizes the horror of hell. God isn't there.
Max Lucado
No place is too common. No person is too hardened. No distance is too far. There's no person God cannot reach. There's no limit to his love.
