A Christian has no business being satisfied with mediocrity. He's supposed to reach for the stars. Why not? He's not on his own anymore. He has God's help now.

The unfolding of our friendship with the Father will be a never-ending revelation strretching on into eternity

The only time I ever find my dealings with God less than clear-cut is when I'm not being honest with Him. The fuzziness is always on my side, not His.

God's way of dealing with us is to throw us into situations over our depth, then supply us with the necessary ability to swim.

Some of what I wrote bordered on blasphemy....If there was a God, He would have to be truth. And in that case, candor--however impertinent--would be more pleasing to Him than posturing.

I learned that true forgiveness includes total self-acceptance. And out of acceptance wounds are healed and happiness is possible again.

God insists that we ask, not because He needs to know our situation, but because we need the spiritual discipline of asking.
