“The Judge of all has declared his creation - of which you are no small part … - to be good.There is no countermanding that declaration … When we choose to affirm what God has done in creating us, what God I’d already doing in granting us breath and in preserving His world and us in it, we worship Him.”
Alan Noble, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living, Library Edition

“We do a great disservice to one another by overly relying on the technical language of mental health. It ends up demarcating legitimate from illegitimate mental affliction. And if only medically diagnosed mental suffering counts, people will become desperate to find a diagnosis that validates their affliction.”
Alan Noble, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living, Library Edition

“While we crave the "I want your life" comments on Instagram, what we need is the Father's consistent voice telling us "you are my beloved. Well done. I love you." The affirmation of the world is a moving target, leaving us perpetually anxious and cultivating our insecurities, but the Father's voice of love is stable and firm, forming us into resilient people.”
John Starke, The Secret Place of Thunder: Trading Our Need to Be Noticed for a Hidden Life with Christ

“Jesus began his work with those who were supposed to be invisible at the party ... Jesus starts in hidden places with forgettable people, intentionally steering away from crowd-pleasers.”
John Starke, The Secret Place of Thunder: Trading Our Need to Be Noticed for a Hidden Life with Christ

“Human experience inescapably involves suffering. For all of human history we have know this to be true. But it’s hard to recall this truth when we are surrounded by forces that promise us greater and greater explanations, control and strategies of happiness… beauty and love and joy are norma, but so is suffering.”
Alan Noble, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living, Library Edition
