If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing. But that kind of spiritual humility is hard to muster. We come to God saying, "Look at all I've done," or maybe "Look at all I've suffered." God, however, wants us to look to him - to just wash.

It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.

Work is taking the raw material of creation and developing it for the sake of others.

What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.

Your feelings come from where you find your hope. Where is your happiness and your significance?

Grace is to be let into a place that you don't have a right to be.

God's salvation does not come in response to a changed life. A changed life comes in response to the salvation, offered as a free gift.
