In our frenzied attempts to catch up with life, we run right past it. Once we have run past it, what we are in reality attempting to catch is ourselves.

The problem with holiness is that once we look into the face of it we are no longer capable of taking that which is odious and filthy and somehow pretending that it’s translucent and clean. In other words, we have to do one of the most revolting things possible; we have to face ourselves.

If we are to believe in a future that we cannot see, we must learn to believe in many things that we cannot see. The first thing would be God. And the second would the bit of Himself that He placed within each of us.

We think that we miss things because they are too small. But when it comes to God, I think that we miss Him because He is too big, for we assume that nothing that big would be interested in something as small as us.

To fully understand how utterly amazing we really are we must first understand all of the things about us that are not, and then we must make our habitation where they are not.
