The outstretched arms of Jesus exclude no one, not the drunk in the doorway, the panhandler on the street, gays and lesbians in their isolation, the most selfish and ungrateful in their cocoons, the most unjust of employers and the most overweening of snobs. The love of Christ embraces all without exception.

I you think you've done it, then you're wrong. Because you're not finished until you have achieved everything that you never thought you could.

A man doesn't grow old because he has lived a certain number of years. A man grows old when he deserts his ideal. The years may wrinkle his skin, but deserting his ideal wrinkles his soul.

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.

I am wonderfully content with a God who does not deal with me as my sins deserve.

Childlike in faith means the daily acknowledgment of utter dependence and that I owe my life and being to another.

My trust in God flows out of the experience of his loving me, day in and day out, whether the day is stormy or fair, whether I'm sick or in good health, whether I'm in a state of grace or disgrace. He comes to me where I live and loves me as I am.
