Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.

And when you find love, or when you are mature enough to understand it, the feeling you get is gratitude.

How disappointing would it be get to heaven and find out God created life to be enjoyed while all we did was worry?
walking-away mind want
I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made fo figure things out, not to read the same page recurrently.
thinking people who-god-is
...to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people...That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.

There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.
dream selfish mean
What we really need is somebody who loves us so much we don’t worry about death, or about [anything for that matter]… We need this; we need this so we can love other people purely and not for selfish gain, we need this so we can see everybody as equals, we need this so our relationships can be sincere, we need this so we can stop kicking ourselves around, we need this so we can lose all self-awareness and find ourselves for the first time, not by realizing some dream, but by being told who we are by the only Being who has the authority to know, by that I mean the Creator.

meaningful jobs book
It’s interesting that in the Bible, in the book of Ecclesiastes, the only practical advice given about living a meaningful life is to find a job you like, enjoy your marriage, and obey God. It’s as though God is saying, Write a good story, take somebody with you, and let me help.
people trying impress
The more I try to impress people, the more I separate myself from them. Vulnerability attracts love.
believe action i-believe
What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do.
beautiful television earth
God made a whole beautiful earth and decided to put you in it, to experience all of this beauty. You can't do that watching television all the time.
people community havens
The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.
