Every Day You And I Walk Through

True Joy, As It Turns Out, Comes Only To Those Who Have Devoted Their Lives To Something Greater Than Personal Happiness. This Is Most Visible In Extraordinary Lives, In Saints And Martyrs. But It Is No Less True For Ordinary People Like Us.

I Need To Worship Because Without It I Can Forget That I Have A Big God Beside Me And Live In Fear. I Need To Worship Because Without It I Can Forget His Calling And Begin To Live In A Spirit Of Self-preoccupation. I Need To Worship Because Without It I Lose A Sense Of Wonder And Gratitude And Plod Through Life With Blinders On. I Need Worship Because My Natural Tendency Is Toward Self-reliance And Stubborn Independence.

God Wishes To Be Seen, Wishes To Be Sought, Wishes To Be Expected, And Wishes To Be Trusted.

Spiritual Transformation Is Not A Matter Of Trying Harder, But Of Training Wisely.

Over Time, Grit Is What Separates Fruitful Lives From Aimlessness.
