“God makes confetti out of our titles and accomplishments to celebrate the poor and the humble.”

God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can come in.

God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.

Love like there’s no tomorrow; live like there’s no yesterday. We’re forgiven; now go love people like we believe it

When you love people like Jesus, you get messy. But messy looks good on you!

The battle for our hearts is fought on the pages of our calendar.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can’t afford it, pride doesn’t understand it and friends never forget it.

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you’re an owner. Faith is at its best when it’s that way too. It’s best lived when it’s owned.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I’m more afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.

You can quit anything on a Thursday.

Courage doesn’t mean we’re not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren’t controlled by our doubts.

Live your life like you’re exactly who Jesus thinks you are.

I don’t know every step I’m supposed to take. I think Jesus just wants me to take the next step.

A hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That’s what I want my life to be all about – full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.

Words people say not only have a shelf life but have the ability to shape life.

Whimsy doesn’t care if you are the driver or the passenger; all that matters is that you are on your way.

If we are truly humble , we will co-operate.

There is false humility and genuine humility and between them, there is a desire of the practitioner to become humble.

He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride; He that is humble, ever shall have God to be his Guide.

To seek yourself in this world is to be lost; and to be humble is to be exalted.

Even if you have done no wrong, no mistake in the last 50 years, remember the mistake you did 51 years ago and repent for it and become humble.

To be meek and humble means to have a service attitude towards God, the Vaisnavas, and all living beings. Unless we have that, our chanting will have minimal effect and many births may pass before we finally come to the conclusion.

O subtle love! a thousand wiles thou hast, by humble suit, by service, or by hire, to win a maiden’s hold,–a thing soon done, for nature framed all women to be won.

The word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.
