The grace of God is dangerous. It's lavish, excessive, outrageous, and scandalous. God's grace is ridiculously inclusive. Apparently God doesn't care who He loves. He is not very careful about the people He calls His friends or the people He calls His Church.
Dare to love yourselfas if you were a rainbowwith gold at both ends.

The reality of loving God is loving him like he's a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff.

Grace is what picks me up and lifts my wings high above and I fly! Grace always conquers! Be graceful in everything; in anger, in sadness, in joy, in kindness, in unkindness, retain grace with you!

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day's chalking.

Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.

More Quotes By Mike Yaconelli
For the glory of God, the good of others, and the satisfaction of our souls, the aim of the Christian life is our coming to share in… Christlikeness or godliness–which is ‘holiness’ rightly understood.
Prayer doesn’t begin with our needs, but with his bounty.
It shouldn’t surprise us…to find that prayer is not finally about getting things from God, but getting God.
He is holy, and so we worship (adoration). He is merciful, and so we repent (confession). He is gracious, and so we express appreciation (thanksgiving). He is loving and caring, and so we petition him for ourselves, our family, our friends, and our world (supplication).
This is the heart of prayer–not getting things from God, but getting God.
