Faith Under Pressure Quotes

“There were some points when I felt like the
least qualified person to lead this club.'
'Well, if you ask me, that makes you the most qualified.'

'Because you’re humble, and God can usually work the most when we feel the least qualified.”

“But none of those things, even if they’re good, carry the one thing that our world is so desperately longing for. And that’s love. The kind of love that doesn’t come with a price tag. The kind of love that is one-hundred-percent free. “As Christians, we know this kind of love, up close and personal. But so often, it’s easy to lose track of it, and get so wrapped up in our responsibilities and schedules that we forget that we’re called to look like love. The kind of love that can look at someone who hurt us and say, ‘I forgive you.’ That can look at our neighbor, who is so different from us, and remember that they bleed, hurt, and feel pain, just like we do. That can look at people who aren’t always lovable and love them anyway. That is the way that Jesus loves, and the way that we’re called to love—the way that I’m called to love.”
