Willpower is trying very hard not to do something you want to do very much.

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.

The Holy Spirit will lead you to be with people as Jesus would be with them if He were in your place.

Having faith does not mean never having doubts or questions. It does mean remaining obedient.

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.

Significance is about who we are before it is about what we do.

We are tempted to live under the illusion that somewhere out there are people who are normal.
