Hoarding is holding onto what I can’t keep and all the while convincing myself that I can. And in the end, what I’m really hoarding is my need to believe something at the expense of my existence.

The greatest evidence we have that God does matter is all of the time and energy we put into telling ourselves that He doesn’t.

In no way does God’s absence call His existence into question. To the contrary, His absence calls into question my unwillingness to surrender to His existence.

Sometimes the very things that we’re expending our lives to sustain are the very things that are killing our ability to live. And against our blind and frequently raging protests, these are the very things that God let’s die so that we can live.

Timeless principles never age, and truth is as young as the day it was spoken into existence.

I don’t know how we explain our existence without explaining something bigger than us. And if we can explain something bigger than us, it must not be bigger than us. Hence, we are left with God.

I don’t wish to explain the existence of God, for the absence of Him does that quite well.

It seems that we are not in a state of disbelief regarding the existence of God. Rather, we are in a state of rebellion against His existence. But have we not yet come to understand that in the end, that kind of rebellion is a rebellion against our own existence?

The desire of my heart is to fill my heart with everything that is of God so that there is no space for anything that is of greed. For once I have been filled in just such a manner, the desire of my heart has finally become the reality of my existence.
