“When Jesus tells us to give all we have...we don't have authority to decline. We are not our own; we have no claim on our own lives.”

“He wants to be the One we treasure most. Most of all, He wants you. All of you.”

“There is no way to learn endurance other than simply to endure. We can’t learn it in principle or in theory; only pain can teach it to us.”

“The ways of this world hold nothing for us anymore. Our conformity is over. Transformation must begin.”

“Our minds must fit the eternal patterns of heaven, not the momentary aberrations of earth”

“A heart poured out in praise results in a heart filled with purpose.”

“We may seem the weakest and most insignificant of all the Realms, but our strength comes in other ways. We have what no other race has: imagination. Any one of us, even the lowliest, can create worlds within ourselves; we can people them with the most extraordinary creatures, the most amazing inventions, the most incredible things. We can live in those worlds ourselves, if we choose; and in our own worlds, we can be as we want to be. Imagination is as close as we will ever be to godhead, Poison, for in imagination, we can create wonders.”
