How He Loves

"No president should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding and from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary."

"I am convinced that the deepest desire within each of us is to be liberated from the controlling influences of our own psychic madness or patterns of fear. All other things—the disdain of ordinary life, the need to control others rather than be controlled, the craving for material goods as a means of security and protection against the winds of chaos—are external props that serve as substitutes for the real battle, which is the one waged within the individual soul."

"God has a way of taking that one thing that you think will make you happy, and saying ‘you’re almost there. It’s the right shape, but the wrong size. I want to take it and point in a slightly different direction that’s even better.’"

"If your friend is passionate about something, then it’s important to you too: because this is important to your friend. You don’t have to get it, but don’t be the one who rags on it. Why would you even do that? Why strangle a voice? Why dampen passion when there is so little of it in the world? Rejoice with those rejoice, mourn with those who mourn, and maybe you should join your friend on that adventure."

"She was stronger alone…"

"What is most important is invisible."

"Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things."

"

Sometimes I look at people who don’t see their worth in Christ, and I just think about how God actually breathed life into dust, making something wonderful out of something worthless. All of creation, God has been bringing value to the valueless, hope to the hopeless, and life into the lifeless. Don’t you dare look at yourself and deny what God sees you as, because to Him, you are the very air in His lungs giving Him life; He died and rose again, so that you may be with Him forever.

Come now, sons and daughters, to the place that God has made for you; because He is not simply telling you to not sin, He is calling you home.

"

"Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe God is more to be desired than life itself."
