Bob Goff
“The world can make you think that love can be picked up at a garage sale or enveloped in a Hallmark card. But the kind of love that God created then demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence.”
Bob Goff

“God places that desire deep in our hearts because He wants it for us and it honours Him. Maybe there are times when we think a door has been closed and, instead of misinterpreting the circumstances, God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.”
Bob Goff, Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World

Philip Yancey
“The deepest longings we feel on earth, as parents, as lovers, are mere flickers of the hungering desire God feels for us. It is a desire that cost him the Incarnation and the Crucifixion.”
Philip Yancey, Disappointment with God

Philip Yancey
“Knowledge is passive, intellectual; suffering is active, personal. No intellectual answer will solve suffering. Perhaps this is why God sent his own Son as one response to human pain, to experience it and absorb it into himself.”
Philip Yancey, Disappointment with God

Holley Gerth
“But God doesn't want us to stay broken in any area of our lives. He's not an insurance adjuster holding out until the last minute before he's willing to repair the damage. He wants us to be whole. He wants to heal our hearts. He wants to restore what has been damaged.”
Holley Gerth, What Your Heart Needs for the Hard Days: 52 Encouraging Truths to Hold On To
