...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.

You've got to use the life you've been given to give others life

At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing.

Once you have tasted conviction, you can’t bear to keep swallowing complacency.

Pick up a yardstick to measure your life against anyone else's, and you've just picked up a stick and beaten up your own soul.

We live in a broken world - and for the life of me I can't get it all right. But Jesus takes all our broken messes and He makes them, by His grace, into a mosaic of grace.

The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.
