people stories judgment
People who live great stories know failure isn’t a judgment, it’s an education.
thinking romantic-love romance
I think our society puts too much pressure on romantic love, and that is why so many romances fail. Romance can't possibly carry all that we want it to.
song heart writing
Be encouraged. Your heart is writing a poem on the world and it's being turned into a thousand songs.
moving stories
Great stories move through fear.
distance two evil
It's not what people do that scares me. It's what they hide. It's the secrets that keep us from bonding and create distrust. If we were more willing to accept each other's depravity we'd be more united, we'd be more honest. If you hide two things from me, I'll assume you're hiding a million. And I'll keep you at a distance. I'm not afraid of the evil in you. It's in me too.
giving stories safe
Fear isn’t only a guide to keep us safe; it’s also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life … the great stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
lying stories life-is
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
watches sometimes
...sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself...
falling-in-love believe love-is
Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.
together stories taste
And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal; you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.
fall men miracle
When I was in love there was somebody in the world who was more important than me, and that, given all that happened at the fall of man, is a miracle, like something God forgot to curse.
love-is order voice
Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security; but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.
important resistance encounters
If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.
love-you giving risk
I will love you like God, because of God, mighted by the power of God. I will stop expecting your love, demanding your love, trading for your love, gaming for your love. I will simply love. I am giving myself to you, and tomorrow I will do it again. I suppose the clock itself will wear thin its time before I am ended at this altar of dying and dying again. God risked Himself on me. I will risk myself on you. And together, we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand this gravity that drew Him, unto us.
