“God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.”

“Out of your whole life give but a moment!All of your life that has gone before,All to come after it, -so you ignore,So you make perfect the present, condense,In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment,Thought and feeling and soul and sense. ”

“God doesn't work on our timetable. He has a plan that He will execute perfectly and for the highest, greatest good of all, and for His ultimate glory.”

“Christian desire is always excessive, generous beyond what is asked. It is a desire not to consume the other, but to let the other be in the perfection they are called to grow into. It is a desire ultimately founded upon God as triune and, as triune, a community of love fore-given and given lavishly.”

“Brenda, do you know God loves you? He really does. To Him, you're perfect, absolutely perfect. You always have been.”

“The are no perfect people; only people perfectly willing to point out your imperfections while ignoring their own.”
