“People have often asked me, what is fear? Is it the feeling of dread? The sweat of unease? Or is it the knowledge of the unknown future? No. It is none of these. Fear is as much alive as it is a soul. Fear feeds on joy. It lives in us all. It is something that can never be cast out of us, as a landlord evicts tenants from a house. If you go on and tell me, that fear doesn’t live in you. I would simply turn around and tell you to jump off a tower. Then we will see who is in the right.”

“We are topsy-turvy. We don't know what's best for us. The things I'm most afraid of are often the very things that will set me free. The desolate places in my life that I most want to avoid are the very places God waits to meet me. The things I want most - and which I grip, white knuckled - are often the things that, were it not for God's gracious intervention, would diminish me, even kill me. The way to save my life is to lose it.”
