An intimate encounter with Jesus is the most transforming experience of human existence. To know him as he is, is to come home. To have his life, joy, love, and presence cannot be compared. A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness.
John EldredgeReading the Gospels, without the personality of Jesus, is like watching television with the sound turned off.
John EldredgeWithout the anticipation of better things ahead, we will have no heart for the journey.
John EldredgeWe abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain โ money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self โ itโs not worth it.
