Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.
Timothy KellerTo discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.

Timothy KellerWithout immersion in God's words, our prayers may not be merely limited and shallow but also untethered from reality.
Timothy KellerTo be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.
