Hope sees what we can’t. And because we can’t, hope asks us to believe that it can.

God’s faith in me always dwarfs my faith in Him.

If I can’t find something worthwhile in my own reflection, how am I ever going to see anything worthwhile in the face of another? Maybe I can solve all of this by seeing the face of Jesus in everyone, starting with myself.

I would much prefer to be broken than to live out the entirety of my life never having known what it’s like to be healed.

To end my life having exhausted the whole of it in the pursuit of worldly things means that I will die holding no things. But to exhaust the whole of it in the pursuit of God means that I will die holding all things. And the difference between the two is everything.

It’s less that we’re missing the gift of vision and more that we have the tendency to obstruct it.

If you tell me that I have to write the story of my life, I would be very quick to tell you that God has already written it. What I have to do is to quit playing editor.

Could it that the impossible is compelling because we have just enough God within us to know the impossible to be achievable, and just enough of ourselves within us to know that we have to rely on Him to do it?

The ‘death of me’ is most often caused by the ignorance within me that’s killing everything that God is doing around me.
