Donald Miller Quotes About Joy

• Here's the truth about telling stories with your life. It's going to sound like a great idea, and you're going to get excited about it, and then when it comes time to do the work, you're not going to want to do it. It's like that with writing books, and it's like that with life. People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to make it happen. But joy costs pain.

• There is a time when every person who encounters Jesus, who believes Jesus is the Son of God, decides that they will spend their life following Him. Some people, like the Apostle Paul, make this decision the minute they meet Him, the minute they become a Christian. Others, like the Apostle Peter, endure years of half-hearted commitment and spiritual confusion before leaping in with all their passion. Still others may enjoy some benefits of God's love and grace without entering into the true joy of a marriage with their maker.

• En una época en la que podemos proyectar una imagen y puntuar esa imagen basándonos en los comentarios inmediatos de Facebook y Twitter, convirtiendo así la vida en un videojuego y en una falsa realidad compuesta de mentiras, lo que se pierde es una alegre obsesión por la obra que creamos desde el más puro de los motivos, una alegría pura en el propio acto de creación que nos hace perdernos en otra cosa y, en cierto modo, morir a nosotros mismos por el amor absoluto a una cosa que estamos insuflando vida.
