God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.

Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.

Adam wasn't lonely because he was imperfect but because he was perfect. The ache for friends is not the result of sin.

Honor the image of God. Human beings are not accidents, but creations.

Just because you cannot realize your highest aspirations in work does not mean you have chosen wrongly, or are not called to your profession, or that you should spend your life looking for the perfect career that is devoid of frustration. ... You should expect to be regularly frustrated in your work even though you may be in exactly the right vocation.

You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.
