“All I have learned through trial and error is to stay alert and aware, especially God smiling @ our silliness. ”
― Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God

“Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean; accepting God's love will.”
― Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“To affirm a person is to see the good in them that they cannot see in themselves and to repeat it in spite of appearances to the contrary. Please, this is not some Pollyanna optimism that is blind to the reality of evil, but rather like a fine radar system that is tuned in to the true, the good, and the beautiful.”
― Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God

“Awakening and owning the dreams that God has placed in our hearts isn't about getting stuff or attaining something. It's about embracing who we are and who he has created us to be. In him. He is our dream come true, and the one true love of our life. But we can't love him with our whole hearts when our hearts are asleep. To love Jesus means to risk coming awake, to risk wanting and desiring.”
― Stasi Eldredge, Becoming Myself: Embracing God's Dream of You
