“Since then, at an uncertain hour,
That agony returns:
And till my ghastly tale is told,

“The Bible isn't a rule book. It's a love letter. I'm not an employee. I'm a child. It's not about my performance. It's about Jesus' performance for me. Grace isn't there for some future me but for the real me. The me who struggled. The me who was messy. ..... He loves me in my mess; he was not waiting until I cleaned myself up.”
― Jefferson Bethke, Jesus > Religion: Why He Is So Much Better Than Trying Harder, Doing More, and Being Good Enough

“This hill, though high, I covet to ascend;
The difficulty will not me offend.
For I perceive the way to life lies here.

Than wrong, though easy, where the end is woe.”
― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress

“Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
