people are rarely persuaded by arguments, but more often by experiences. - Rob Bell

When we don't throw ourselves completely into it and we hold back our best efforts because of what happened in the past, we are letting the past decide the future.

Be patient. Don't force your experiences on others. The moving of spirit is a great mystery, and how or why or when certain people wake up is beyond us. Let people have their own experiences.

Jesus doesn’t divide the world up into the common and the sacred; he gives us eyes to see the sacred in the common.
