More From Max Lucado

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
Is a christian- one who communicates daily with the creator- to divorce himself from the things god created and intended man to have, and which demonstrate the fact that man has been made in the image of god? in other words, are we who have been made in the image of our creator to be less creative than those who do not know the creator? the christian should have more vividly expressed creativity in his daily life.
Christian Creativity Divorce
Secrets have power. and that power diminishes when they are shared, so they are best kept and kept well. sharing secrets, real secrets, important ones, with even one other person, will change them. writing them down is worse, because who can tell how many eyes might see them inscribed on paper, no matter how careful you might be with it. so it's really best to keep your secrets when you have them, for their own good, as well as yours.

Secrets are my currency: i deal in them for a living. the secrets of desire, of what people really want, and of what they fear the most. the secrets of why love is difficult, sex complicated, living painful and death so close and yet placed far away. why are pleasure and punishment closely related? how do our bodies speak? why do we make ourselves ill? why do you want to fail? why is pleasure hard to bear?

What is an artistic picture? an artistic picture is very simple. the creator is not the producer. the creator is not the star. the creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. the creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. that is an artistic picture.

The relationship we have with god is not the same over a life; sometimes, as with human relationships, it goes through bad patches and sometimes it becomes very intense. it is a terrifying thing to have a relationship with one's creator, to spend one's life so that one is trying to converge with one's creator seems an extraordinarily difficult and sublime thing. but at the same time it's extremely simple. one of the things which perpetually amazes me is that at any moment or any day, anyone who is alive can talk with the creator of the cosmos.

When some people look at a shrimp they think, "hmm. delicious." when i look at a shrimp i think, "you're a miracle, absolutely incredible. your ancestors have gone back hundreds of millions of years." and to develop a thing as simple as a shrimp cocktail, you have to calculate the hundreds of millions of years that have preceded that moment where you're sitting there with your sauce and fork poised.

People of a certain age look back on the mayberry of 'the andy griffith show' and become almost as homesick for that simple fictional hamlet as they do for their own home towns.
