Experience has taught me that I connect best with others when I connect with the core of myself. When I allow God to liberate me from unhealthy dependence on people, I listen more attentively, love more unselfishly, and am more compassionate and playful. I take myself less seriously, become aware that the breath of the Father is on my face.

The deepest desire of our hearts is for union for God. God created us for union with himself. This is the original purpose of our lives.

God is a kooky God who can scarcely bear to be without us.

Troubadours have always been more important and influential than theologians and bishops

The gospel will persuade no one unless it has so convicted us that we are transformed by it.

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion. God's love for you and his choice of you constitute your worth. Accept that, and let it become the most important thing in your life.

I asked for wonder, and He gave it to me.
