Christmas is God coming to the very place that we would never think to look for Him. And I think He did that because we live in the very places that the world would never think to look for us.

I must look at the 'nature' of God, not the 'nature' of the challenge. For the former means everything and the latter means nothing.

If we’re missing life it’s probably because we’re expecting it to reveal itself to us, rather than realizing that life is revealed by us looking for it.

One sure way I can avoid facing myself is by refusing to look into the face of God.
