God as a sense of warmth about the heart, God as exultation, God as tears in the eyes, God as a rush of power or thought—that was all right. But God as truth, God as 2 + 2 = 4—that wasn't so clearly all right.

No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath... We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?" -Donald Miller,Through Painted Deserts

We must, however, reaffirm what we know to be true, even when we don't feel it to be true. This will help us to live more by faith than by feelings.

Living for Christ is a day-to-day going on with Him. It is a continuous dependence upon the Spirit of God. It is believing in His faithfulness.

Safe is good for sidewalks and swimming pools, but life requires risk if we are to get anywhere.

Life is a walk to the edge of a cliff. Every day we get a step nearer and what lies over the brink, no one can tell.

The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you've got to believe them and live by them.

Life is an Attitude. It's what you Choose to Believe, ALWAYS.

The first step is to fill your life with positive faith that will help you through anything. The second step is to start where you are.

There are times in our Christian life when we cannot see beyond the next step and we have to trust God.

The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He IS our life.

If you're gonna make a change, you're gonna have to operate from a new belief that says life happens not to me but for me.
