The world says you gain your life by getting more and more and more and more, but Jesus says, 'No, that leads to death. You get it back by giving it away and when you give it away you get it back.'

We grow up hungry for love, and in ways so deep as to remain unexpressed we long for our Maker to love us.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.

Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.

I have yet to find any support in the Bible for an attitude of smugness: Ah, they deserve their punishment; watch them squirm.

If God doesn't want something for me, then I shouldn't want it either.
