Maybe the reason that I always need to rest is that I’m constantly trying to create a place where I can rest. And once I rest in the fact that I can’t create a place like that, maybe I’ll finally look for the God who already has.

That which I cannot hold is that which I can treasure the most because it affords me no burden other than to enjoy it.

An obese ego is just about the heaviest thing you’ll ever carry. So maybe you should stop feeding it.

We can fill our lives with ‘stuff,’ but as we do we’re concurrently filling our lives with the obligation to maintain that ‘stuff.

Forgiveness allows the burdens that we carry to become the histories that we forget.

To forgive is to say that we will not allow someone else’s foolishness become our burden lest we become the fool.
