I spend my life attempting to create that which I cannot create. Therefore, that which I seek to create forever eludes me, leaving me either utterly frustrated or ever more adamant. Both lead to certain defeat. But if I am wise, this defeat will eventually lead me to the God who long ago created that which my hands cannot. And here I find rest in what I’ve dreamt of, and rest from the failed attempts to create it.

God is not interested in parts of you, for having a part will never change the whole.

When you change you are illustrating the fact that it can be done. And what people need today are illustrations.

The greatest threat that I need to be rescued from is myself. Everything comes a lot easier after that.

Our greatest enemy is devious enough to tell us that we are our greatest asset, and that the investment of the whole of ourselves into the whole of ourselves represents the whole of our life. But what the person in the mirror is not telling you is what kind of ‘hole’ that will actually dig.

Of myself, I am not the end of anything. But in God’s hands, I can be the beginning of many things.

The greatest rest is never determined by where I happen to be, but by the God that I’ve invited to be wherever I happen to be.

I will either die at the hands of myself or live in the hands of God.

Any evaluation of who I am is held to the sparseness of who I am without understanding that who I am in union with Who God is renders me capable of being everything that I am not.
