Nobody lives up to the norms that God had in mind when he first created human beings.

Failure is not an event, but rather a judgment about an event. Failure is not something that happens to us or a label we attach to things. It is a way we think about outcomes.

What matters is not the accomplishments you achieve; what matters is the person you become.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.

Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting.

Imagine watching all that God might have done with your life if you had let him.

There is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.
