I need hope in something a lot bigger than me, for if I’m as good as it gets then I’m in big trouble.

How great is evil if God is always greater?

Every ending will meet its own end, for every ending is destined to be swallowed up by a beginning.

It would behoove us to remember that the life we live involves the death of something so that it can become the birth of something.

If I’m not willing to accept a God who does the impossible, I’m left with what’s possible. And that takes me no further than myself.

If I have faith, what I see as a wall in front of me is in reality a door that will soon be behind me.

The most difficult thing is not the belief in the infinite. No. The most difficult thing of all is to believe that the infinite would be so grand and gracious as to reside in the smallness of us. That is what requires the greatest faith.

We’ve become convinced that filling our lives is the best way to spend our lives. And once we’ve become ‘spent’, we realize that the best way to spend our lives would have been to empty them instead.

Faith is not whittling God down to a size that I can comprehend. Rather, it’s whittling my need to control down to a size that God can intersect.
