"And this wise man asked me to stop. He said, Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Get involved in what God is doing -- because it's already blessed." -- Bono, U2
"We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want to know the source of it." Madeleine L'engle

"Until I understand I literally cannot do anything for God to achieve worth or value in his eyes, I won' stop trying. Maybe God wants me to stop trying." Divine Nobodies
When we were enemies, Jesus nevertheless ascribed unsurpassable worth to us by paying an unsurpassable price for us. Greg Boyd
