The reason our souls hunger so is that the life we could be living so far exceeds our strangest dreams.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
We tend to be preoccupied by our problems when we have a heightened sense of vulnerability and a diminished sense of power. Today, see each problem as an invitation to prayer.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
One reason why we fail to hear God speak is that we are not attentive. We suffer from what might be called ‘spiritual mindlessness.’
JOHN ORTBERG

Failure God Hear Mindset Reason Spirituality Suffering
Death is the prerequisite to resurrection, the new life God intends.

Anand Thakur
Significance is about who we are before it is about what we do.
JOHN ORTBERG

Identity Significance
One of the most painful aspects of suffering is the loneliness of it. Others may offer support or empathy, but no one can walk the road to Moriah in our place.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
We’d like to be humble…but what if no one notices?
JOHN ORTBERG

Humble Notice Oneself
Every human being who has ever lived has suffered from a messiah complex-except one.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
Love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don’t have.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
To love someone is to desire and work toward their becoming the best version of themselves. The one person in all the universe who can do this perfectly for you is God.
JOHN ORTBERG

Desire God Love Perfection Person Universe Work
Who you become while you’re waiting is as important as what you’re waiting for.
JOHN ORTBERG

Patience Time Transformation Wait Yourself
God sees with utter clarity who we are. He is undeceived as to our warts and wickedness. But when God looks at us that is not all He sees. He also sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become.
JOHN ORTBERG

Anand Thakur
The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.
JOHN ORTBERG

Allow Character Doubt Faith Freedom Obedience Transformation
It’s better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy.
JOHN ORTBERG

Better Embrace Faith Fantasy Pain Reality
If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.
