Crazy Love

I haven't finished reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan, but it is so good! I've got about 45 or so more pages to go...it has really challenged me and I think is a book that I'll need/want to read over and over again as the years go by.

A few of my favorite passages:

Don't we live instead as though God is created for us, to do our bidding, to bless us, and to take care of our loved ones? Psalm 115:3 reveals, "Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him." Yet we keep questioning Him: "Why did you make me with this body instead of that one?" "Why are so many people dying of starvation?" ... The answer to each of these questions is simply this: because He's God. He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving (33).

Worry implies that we don't quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of whats happening in our lives.
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace towards others, and our tight grip of control.
Basically these two behaviors communicate that its ok to sin and not trust God because the stuff in my life is somehow exceptional (42).

Would you be willing to pray this prayer? God bring me closer to You during this trip, whatever it takes...(133).
