“You cannot make God stop loving you, because his love is based on who he is, not what you do. It is based on his character, not your conduct.”

“Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.”

“We accept our humanity intellectually, but not emotionally. When faced with our own limitations, we react with irritation, anger, and resentment. We want to be taller (or shorter), smarter, stronger, more talented, more beautiful, and wealthier. We want to have it all and do it all, and we become upset when it doesn’t happen. Then when we notice that God gave others characteristics we don’t have, we respond with envy, jealousy, and self-pity.”

“Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record.”

“La obediencia libera el poder de Dios. Dios espera que actúes primero. No esperes hasta que te sientas poderoso o seguro. Sigue adelante pese a tu debilidad, haciendo lo correcto a pesar de tus temores y sentimientos. Así es como cooperas con el Espíritu Santo, y es como se desarrolla tu carácter. La Biblia compara el crecimiento espiritual con una semilla, un edificio o un niño en crecimiento. Cada metáfora requiere una participación activa: las semillas deben ser plantadas y cultivadas, los edificios deben ser construidos —no surgen de la nada— y los niños deben comer y hacer ejercicio para crecer. Aunque el esfuerzo no tiene nada que ver con nuestra salvación, tiene mucho que ver con nuestro crecimiento espiritual. Por lo menos ocho veces en el Nuevo Testamento se nos dice que «hagamos todo esfuerzo»17 en nuestro crecimiento para llegar a ser como Jesús. Uno no se sienta simplemente a esperar que suceda.”

“ربما لا تشعر الآن أن الله معك. إلا أن حضور الله لا يعتمد علي مشاعرك. فمشاعرك تتعرض لكل أنواع المؤثرات. وعلي ذلك فلا يمكن الاعتماد عليها. في بعض الأحيان تكون أسوأ نصيحة تحصل عليها هي : "افعل ما بدا لك" بمعني أن تعمل ما تشعر أنه الصواب. إن ما نشعر به غالباً ما لا يكون هو الحقيقي أو هو الصواب قد تكون حالتك المعنوية نتاج الذكريات، أو الهرمونات، أو الأدوية، أو الأطعمة، أو قلة النوم،، أو التوتر، أو المخاوف.
كلما بدأت أقلق بشأن أمر ما فإنني أذكر نفسي بأن كلمة خوف
