John Ortberg

Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.

The single dynamic that helps people be most aware of God and most experiencing the fruit of the Spirit is gratitude.

Actually, my character needs to be questioned. On a regular basis. By people who know and love me.

The day people around me stop questioning my character is the day my character begins to grow vulnerable.

Gratitude is what we radiate when we experience grace, and the soul was made to run on grace the way a 747 runs on rocket fuel.
