Who I’ve determined I am is limited by the fact that I’m the one who’s done the determining. With that being the case, I’d be wiser to consider who God says I am.

Running from God creates the illusion that I’m actually creating space between myself and that from which I’m running. And I’m not certain that I want to run with that illusion.

I have plenty of faith, but more often than not it’s faith in the belief that faith doesn’t work.

Brilliance without prayer is like a car with four flat tires. It might be a truly fine vehicle, but it isn’t going anywhere.

I’d rather not write my own story, for in doing so I have assumed that I possess a writing ability equal to that of God. And that assumption will result in a story that is certain to have a bad ending.

To be my own god is to spend my life pretending that I am what I am not. But how do I pretend that such pretending isn’t destroying my life?

Despite how dark it might be, what is tonight but the precursor to tomorrow?

If we’re saying ‘no’ to God, have we considered what we’re saying ‘yes’ to?

I would rather have the approval of God over the accolades of men. For while men might 'lift' me up, God is the only One who can 'take' me up.
