God operates by different rules of time and space. And God's infinite greatness, which we would expect to diminish us, actually makes possible the very closeness that we desire. A God unbound by our rules of time has the ability to invest in every person on earth. God has, quite literally, all the time in the world for each one of us.

When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.
Philip Yancey
Image
Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.
Philip Yancey
Image
Some of us seem so anxious about avoiding hell that we forget to celebrate our journey toward heaven.
Philip Yancey
Image
Doubt always coexists with faith, for in the presence of certainty who would need faith at all?
Philip Yancey
Image
The more we love, and the more unlikely people we love, the more we resemble God - who, after all, loves ornery creatures like us.
Philip Yancey
Image
If Jesus had never lived, we would not have been able to invent him.
Philip Yancey
Image
We human beings instinctively regard the seen world as the real world and the unseen world as the unreal world, but the Bible calls for almost the opposite.
Philip Yancey
Image
... we need to reclaim the goodnewness of the gospel, and the best place to start is to rediscover the good news ourselves.
