We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them. Donald Miller
About This Quote

The world is filled with bad stories. Stories that teach us that the human race is not worth much and that we are worthless. There is a power in telling a better story. It’s a call to the best within us and to the people who hear them.

We are called to be better than people who tell bad stories. We are called to speak the truth, no matter how difficult it is to do so. For us, truth is more powerful than lies or half-truths.
