It's the sorrow you feel that allows you to crave love. Without the suffering, there would be no true pleasure. Without tears, no joy. Without deficiency, no longing. This is the secret of the human heart, Rom.

More quotes by Ted Dekker
. . . your history is no less important to your survival than your ability to breathe. In the end, you can only determine whether to saturate your memories with pain or with perspective. Forgetting is not an option. I tell you the truth now: Pain was not God's plan for this life. It is a reality, but it is not a part of the plan.
Ted Dekker
Knowing you’re worthless doesn’t give you value any more than knowing you are a captive sets you free.
Ted Dekker
She was having some difficulty piecing together exactly why she deserved to be in this place, but she wasn't stupid enough to deny that in the end life was cruel and didn't pay attention to what was fair.
Ted Dekker
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot understand it
Ted Dekker
What was once obvious to them was no longer quite as obvious. Why was it that humans lost sight of truth so quickly?
Ted Dekker
And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?
Ted Dekker
Born of Black and White, Eaten with worms, I'm a Saint, a Sinner, a Siren of the Word, The Circle knows me, the rest just wanna trip on Grace Juice, Baby Showdown at midnight
Ted Dekker
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Halleluiah amen, you are dismissed.
Ted Dekker
Our lives hang in the balance of unpredictable situations. One minute you're driving down the road whistling a tune, the next moment the car right in front of you spins out of control and crashes. How you prepare for those unpredictable occurrences determines whether you live or die. Always leave an empty lane to your right or left for escape.
Ted Dekker
And to understand how love unfolds, you must understand how Elyon loves.
Ted Dekker
I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.
Ted Dekker
Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what is should flee. Forgetting it once had a true lover. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.
Ted Dekker
God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there.
Ted Dekker
What matters is discovering myself under the veneer, under the layers that are wrapped around me. There are two 'yous' there's 'you', the real you, and then there's the image.
Ted Dekker
There is indeed good and there is indeed evil, and both walk the earth. But good has little to do with the forms of religion, and evil has as little to do with so much behavior condemned by religion. Both good and evil vie for the passions of the heart. For love!
Ted Dekker
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's Veins. And those plunged beneath that watery grave to drink of His blood will never be the same.
Ted Dekker
Adrenaline dulls reason panic kills it.
Ted Dekker
When I sit down to write a novel, I am exploring my own relationship with God, with the struggle between good and evil, my own purpose.
Ted Dekker
It is critical that writers who embrace the light of Christ's redemptive love characterize the darkness arrayed against us in a way that is consistent with its true nature.
