Sometimes when we aren't looking, the holiness comes breaking through like a rainbow.

We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.

In a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. If we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the job ourselves. If we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then there's no danger that we will confuse God's work with our own, or God's glory with our own.

Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by.

It does not matter that we cannot fathom this mystery. The only real problem comes when we think that we have.

There's nothing more physically exhausting than a sense of failure.

Following Christ has nothing to do with success as the world sees success. It has to do with love.
