If God imagined you at birth, what makes you think He's stopped imagining you now.

Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive.

I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions... For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.

In some sense we are all hypocrites in transition.

God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.

When we dwell on the past, we tend to want to live there. When we dream of the future, we want to go there. Our dreams are where God paints a picture of a life waiting to be created.

You need to remember who God is, forget the painful wounds and let Him renew you.
