Living unloved is like clipping a bird's wings and removing its ability to fly.

The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.

Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.

You cannot heal yourself. You cannot heal anybody else. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community.

Disconnect your identity from what you produce, and that’s a hard thing for us because we think of our significance, worth and value based on what we do instead of who we are.

We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.

Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
