“The truth is that a life well lived is always lived on a rising scale of difficulty.”
― N.D. Wilson, Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent

“Understand this: we are both tiny and massive. We are nothing more than molded clay given breath, but we are nothing less than divine self-portraits, huffing and puffing along mountain ranges of epic narrative arcs prepared for us by the Infinite Word Himself. Swell with pride and gratitude, for you are tiny and given much. You are as spoken by God as the stars.”
― Thomas Nelson, Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent

“the call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose our lives.”
― David Platt, Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live.

“Many people have found prayer impossible because they thought they should only pray for wonderful but remote needs they actually had little or no interest in or even knowledge of. Prayer simply dies from efforts to pray about ‘good things’ that honestly do not matter to us. The way to get to meaningful prayer for those good things is to start by praying for what we are truly interested in. The circle of our interests will inevitably grow in the largeness of God’s love.” --Dallas Willard”
