“(Passion always looks like sacrifice to people who are not in love.)”
― Kris Vallotton, Spirit Wars: Winning the Invisible Battle Against Sin and the Enemy

“Jesus, unlike the founder of any other major faith, holds out hope for ordinary human life. Our future is not an ethereal, impersonal form of consciousness. We will not float through the air, but rather will eat, embrace, sing, laugh, and dance in the kingdom of God, in degrees of power, glory, and joy that we can't at the present imagine.”
― Timothy Keller

“The gift of presence is a rare and beautiful gift. To come - unguarded, undistracted - and be fully present, fully engaged with whoever we are with at that moment.”
― John Eldredge

“The real you is on the side of God against the false self. Knowing this makes all the difference in the world. The man who wants to live valiantly will lose heart quickly if he believes that his heart is nothing but sin.”
― John Eldredge, Wild at Heart Revised and Updated: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul
