Quote by Mike Wilkerson

“Here's what surprising about making sense of our lives in the context of the BIG Picture - ulimately, God's story: The story is not about you - it's about Him. He is both the author and the main character, and he has written you into His story to say something about Him. Yet, if we are honest, we tend to script our lives with ourselves as the protagonists and God in some supporting (or antagonistic) role... Rather than trying to write God into our stories, we would be wiser to sit patiently with our Father and let Him tell us His. We would surely find ourselves in His story and learn that we are not defined by our hurts and sins, as we may have believed. As He tells us His story, we must be will to let go of the stories we've told to make sense of our lives. We must let His story rewrite ours and sweep us up into something much greater than ourselves.”

“I realize I have stopped thinking about political divides, about freedom fighters or terrorists, about dictators and armies. I am thinking only of the fragility of civilization. The lives the refugees had were our lives: they owned corner shops and sold cars, they farmed or worked in factories or owned factories or sold insurance. None of them expected to be running for their lives, leaving everything they had because they had nothing to come back to, making smuggled border crossings, walking past the dismembered corpses of other people who had tried to make the crossing but had been caught or been betrayed.”

“When the Furies were released in the Middle East, an evil emerged beyond my worst imaginings. The joy of the Middle East has been replaced by fear, pervasive in Iraq and Syria and darkening the lives of people throughout the region. This is why refugees have been flowing out of the Middle East by the millions for Europe. If President Bush’s seeds of democracy or the Arab Spring had bloomed, these families wouldn’t be risking everything to leave. Many in the region have simply lost all hope, which is understandable. If you lived in Libya after the fall of Gadhafi, you’d be terrified. You can’t work, you can’t sell your goods, your children can’t go to school, you can’t even drive around without fear of being kidnapped by bandits or terrorists. It’s not a place where people can be happy and even marginally prosperous. It’s pure chaos. It’s worse in Iraq and Syria.”
