Grace is a free gift of God, but to receive a gift you must have open hands.

Love deems this world worth rescuing.

Prayer is not a means of removing the unknown and predictable elements in life, but rather a way of including the unknown and unpredictable in the outworking of the grace of God in our lives.

In the stories of extravagant grace given to us by Jesus, there are no loopholes disqualifying us from God's love.

God must love art because most of the Bible is expressed in the form of story or poetry.

Only in prayer can we learn to love God with all our heart, mind and soul.

For me, prayer is not so much me setting out a shopping list of requests for God to consider as it is a way of keeping company with God.
