If I live life as some barter system, I will in fact never have given anything away except the opportunity to really live.

If I can live without that which I seek, I have errantly chosen to seek something that is not worth seeking.

We can live out our lives, and in the end realize that we never really ‘lived’ a day in our lives.

To live ‘for’ myself is to live ‘by’ myself. And do I really want to do that ‘to’ myself?

If we sacrifice the opportunity to sacrifice, what we have in fact sacrificed is the opportunity live.

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.

We are quick to surrender that which we deem as long dead, when God is quick to restore that which He deems as never really having lived.

Life is not about getting everything right, as much as it’s about working to live right.

You can live without God, but to do so is to live without living.
