I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.
If you've ever known the love of God, you know it's nothing but reckless and it's nothing but raging. Sometimes it hurts to be loved, and if it doesn't hurt it's probably not love, may be infatuation. I think a lot of American people are infatuated with God, but we don't really love Him, and they don't really let Him love them. Being loved by God is one of the most painful things in the world, it's also the only thing that can bring us salvation and it's like everything else that is really wonderful, there's a little bit of pain in it, little bit of hurt.
Love is found in the things we've given up, more than in the things that we have kept.
If your life is motivated by your ambition to leave a legacy, what you'll probably leave as a legacy is ambition.
We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.
And I really suspect that of all the things we think we want to know, the only thing we really want to know is that we are loved. And if Jesus means anything, he means that you are loved. I hope you know that. And I hope you stop worrying about all the stuff you don't know, because I don't think it amounts to a hill of beans.
In the end, it's not gonna matter if you have a few scars, but it will matter if you didn't live.
Good taste has everything to do with being cultured and being refined, and if art has to do with anything, it has to do with being human.
We never understand what we're praying, and God, in His mercy, does not answer our prayers according to our understanding, but according to His wisdom.
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to.
Save me from trendy religion that makes cheap clichés out of timeless truths.
We do not find happiness by being assertive. We don't find happiness by running over people because we see what we want and they are in the way of that happiness so we either abandon them or we smash them. The Scriptures don't teach us to be assertive. The Scriptures teach us—and this is remarkable—the Scriptures teach us to be submissive. This is not a popular idea.
God spoke to Balaam through his ass. I believe God still speaks through asses today. So if God should choose to speak through you, you needn't think too highly of yourself.
When you stop being so afraid of failing you become much more free to succeed
