“People seem weak, but theyâ€™re strong. They seem strong, but theyâ€™re weak. No matter how much you cry, you still have to sleep. And you even get hungry. You suddenly realize youâ€™re doing the same things you did yesterday. You say hi to your friends and smile just like you did yesterday.

“Jesus came to reveal God to us. He is the defining word on Godâ€”on what the heart of God is truly like, on what God is up to in the world, and on what God is up to in your life. An intimate encounter with Jesus is the most transforming experience of human existence. To know him as he is, is to come home. To have his life, joy, love, and presence cannot be compared. A true knowledge of Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest happiness. To be mistaken about him is the saddest mistake of all.”
