“If you’re waiting with God, waiting is okay. If you’re always waiting on God, you’ll be frustrated. God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.”

God is using your present circumstances to make you more useful for later roles in His unfolding story.

Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

The wonderful living Word of God is more precious than anything else that we have.

You never shrink in stature by lifting someone else up.

The word advent means “expectation.” What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.

God has plans and purposes for each of our lives. But the beauty is that He doesn’t call us and leave us on our own. Jesus actually lives in us to pull off the amazing things that He has invited us into.

Faithfully carry what God has put in your hands right now. This is God’s will.

God wants to do immeasurably more in & through your life than you could ask.

God is huge! He is ginormous! He is greater than every thought we have ever had of Him.

Worry and worship cannot exist in the same space. One always displaces the other. Choose worship.

Worship is when we give God His breath back.

Jesus doesn’t just want songs. He wants justice for the people on planet Earth.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.

There’s no doubt we were unworthy, but we were never worthless. Big difference.

Life comes from death. To the degree that I can live in the death of Jesus – to that degree I can channel God’s life to others.

Crazy is good. The alternative is normal.

The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for… reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

I hate being in boring fights. It frustrates me.

If you so choose, every frustration can help you to be more patient and more persistent.

In computing, turning the obvious into the useful is a living definition of the word “frustration”.

The pursuit of perfection is frustrating and a waste of time, because nothing is ever perfect.

A taste; a painful longing. but the net is always too porous, and we are left with the sweet frustration of almost knowing, which is teasingly pleasurable.

Rage is caused by a conviction, almost comic in its optimistic origins (however tragic in its effects), that a given frustration has not been written into the contract of life.

At the heart of every frustration lies a basic structure: the collision of a wish with an unyielding reality.
