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

There is something you can't fix, can't heal, or can't escape, and all you can do it trust God. Finding ultimate refuge in God means you become so immersed in his presence, so convinced of his goodness, so devoted to his lordship that you find even the cave is a perfectly safe place to be because he is there with you.

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

I am disappointed with myself. I am disappointed not so much with the particular things I have done as with the aspects of who I have become. I have a nagging sense that all is not as it should be.

Biblically, waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be.

Disciplined people can do the right thing at the right time in the right way for the right reason.

One of the hardest things in the world is to stop being the prodigal son without turning into the elder brother.
