“ What is obedience to God? It’s instinct; it’s what plants and animals do all the time. We desire that, as people. We’re always struggling to fit ourselves into the natural world, and we don’t quite fit for some reason. ”

“ You have stories worth telling, memories worth remembering, dreams worth working toward, a body worth feeding, a soul worth tending, and beyond that, the God of the universe dwells within you, the true culmination of super and natural. ”

“ Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future. ”

“ But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
Cause I can’t help but love you even with a heart that breaks ”

“ It’s like, it doesn’t honor God to pretend like everything is OK. That’s the beauty of Jesus that so many people miss. The beauty is that he died on the cross for our sins, but also that he existed the way we exist. He understands what it’s like to lose a friend. He’s not unfamiliar with those emotions. He’s not unfamiliar with the difficulty of human life. To me that’s what makes Jesus as God beautiful. He totally understands. He went out of his way to prove to us that he understands our situation. So when he has something to say, it’s not coming from this high and lofty standpoint. It’s coming from this person who understands intricately the perils of human existence. ”
