A life contemplating the blessings of Christ becomes a life acting the love of Christ.

But wells don't come without first begging to see the wells; wells don't come without first splitting open hard earth, cracking back the lids. There's no seeing God face-to-face without first the ripping.

The brave who focus on all things good and all things beautiful and all things true, even in the small, who give thanks for it and discover joy even in the here and now, they are the change agents who bring fullest light to all the world.

God only allows pain if He’s allowing something new to be born.

This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity.

Every mountain that every Christian ever faces, the Lord levels with sufficient grace.

God reveals Himself in rearview mirrors.
