Be absolutely assured that we will die long before our own deaths if we ever allow the fear of adulthood to kill the wonder of childhood.

One of the most terrifying things I fear is not my potential, but how much regret I’ll die with should I never use it.

I want to have the eyes of an adult to see the world as it is, but I more desperately want to have the heart of a child to make certain that I never forget what it could be.

We would prefer all gain and no loss in life, yet that would gain us nothing more than great loss.

I am pressed to admit that I don’t have the capacity to understand the bloodied horrors of a cross and the wild exhilaration of an empty tomb. But at the point that I think I completely understand God, I have at that very point humanized Him and in that very action I have lost Him. Therefore, I much prefer to simply marvel.

Loss is an invitation to a journey of unparalleled growth, yet we seldom RSVP the invitation.
