The entire life of Jesus isn't the story of somebody climbing up a ladder; it's a picture of someone coming down-a series of demotions. The problem with spending our lives climbing up the ladder is that we will go right past Jesus, for He's coming down.

We may be unlovely yet we are not unloved.

You must arrange your days so that you are experiencing deep contentment, joy and confidence in your everyday life with God.

Jesus is mysterious not just because of what we don't know about him, but because of what we do know about him.

God is so immense that if he were 'too visible,' people would give forced compliance without expressing their heart. So God made it possible, in enormous love, for us to live as if he were not there.

The main measure of your devotion to God is not your devotional life. It is simply your life.

You have a "turn" every time you have an opportunity to choose. But most of us only see a tiny fraction of the choices we have.
