• Your plan is perfect. Bewildering. Puzzling. Troubling. But perfect.
Max Lucado

• Don’t let other people decide your value. Your value has to come from God.
Max Lucado

• …Once I heard one communications professor speak about the power of metaphor. He asked us to consider relationships. What metaphors do we use when we think of relationships? We value people, we invest in people, relationships can go bankrupt, people are priceless… All economic metaphor… Doesn’t it take you aback?.. The problem is we think of love as a commodity. We use it like money…

• It always amazed me, how someone could come to the edge of the world, drop a stone down the side, and turn and return to the very same life.
Charlie Peacock

• Sometimes a voice whispers in the night about the river of souls running through my life.... Will I reach out or watch them drown?
Randy Stonehill

• …Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself... It is as if they are showing you the way…
DM

• Everybody, every person, has to leave, has to change like seasons; they have or they die. The seasons remind me that I must keep changing, and I want to change because it is God's way... Everybody has to change, or they expire. Everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.

• Here’s a tip I’ve never used: I understand you can learn a great deal about girldom by reading Pride and Prejudice, and I own a copy, but I have never read it. I tried. It was given to me by a girl with a little note inside that read: What is in this book is the heart of a woman. I am sure the heart of a woman is pure and lovely, but the first chapter of said heart is hopelessly boring. Nobody dies at all. I keep the book on my shelf because girls come into my room, sit on my couch, and eye the books on the adjacent shelf. You have a copy of Pride and Prejudice, they exclaim in a gentle sigh and smile. Yes, I say. I do…

• If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full…

• I slept and I dreamed that life was happiness.
I awoke and I saw that life was service.
I served and I saw that service was happiness.
Rabindranath Tagore

• Можно задавать вопросы и находить на них ответы, когда придет время ответов…

• Things may be so that it is not easy to know whether we should resist or accept. And yet, if we wait a little, clearness will be given. Something will tell us. Rather, Someone will tell us. The sheep know the Shepherd’s voice.
Amy Carmichael

• When there’s the long strain of uncertainty, that weariest of all straining things, yield to an eager and attentive and yet peaceful waiting, like the waiting of the little ship neat the shore that is ready at the slightest sign to set sail with the Master; ready, too, to wait there till He made that sign.
Amy Carmichael

• Missionary life is simply a chance to die.
Amy Carmichael

• Coronary Christians are like the heart in the causes they serve. Adrenal Christians are like adrenaline – a spurt of energy, and then fatigue. What the church and the world need today is marathoners, not just sprinters. People who find the pace to finish the lifelong race. Coronary Christians are committed to great causes, not great comforts. Dream a dream that is bigger than you and your families and your churches…
John Piper

• When Christ went to the cross, He set millions of captives free. He unmasked the devil’s fraud and broke his power. Don’t follow a defeated foe. Follow Christ. It is costly. You will be an exile in this age. But you will be free.
John Piper

Life is a struggle, with labor pains and thorny landscape, bloody hands and a sweaty brow, head in hands, moments of severe loneliness and questioning, moments of ache and des
