Mike Yaconelli Citas

• The grace of God is dangerous. It's lavish, excessive, outrageous, and scandalous. God's grace is ridiculously inclusive. Apparently God doesn't care who He loves. He is not very careful about the people He calls His friends or the people He calls His church.

• El cristianismo no consiste en aprender a vivir dentro de las líneas; el cristianismo consiste en la alegría de colorear. La gracia de Dios es lo suficientemente absurda como para aceptar como bello un coloreado que cualquier otro rechazaría por feo. La gracia de Dios ve más allá de los garabatos hasta el corazón del garabateador, un garabateador que es similar a los dos ladrones que colgaron de las cruces a ambos lados de Jesús. Uno de los dos le pidió a Jesús que por favor aceptara su vida garabateada y descuidada en el reino de Dios y Él lo hizo. Qué absurdo. Y muy buenas noticias para el resto de nosotros, garabateros.

• The power of the Church is not a parade of flawless people, but of a flawless Christ who embraces our flaws. The Church is not made up of whole people, rather of the broken people who find wholeness in a Christ who was broken for us.

• Estoy inacabado. Estoy sin arreglar. Y la realidad es que es donde Dios me encuentra es en el desorden de mi vida, en la falta de fijación, en la ruptura. Pensé que había hecho lo contrario, que se había deshecho de todas esas cosas. Pero si lees la Biblia, si te fijas en ella, constantemente aparecía en la vida de las personas en el peor momento de sus vidas.

• I want a lifetime of holy moments. Every day I want to be in dangerous proximity to Jesus. I long for a life that explodes with meaning and is filled with adventure, wonder, risk, and danger. I long for a faith that is gloriously treacherous. I want to be with Jesus, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

• Descansar es una decisión que tomamos. Descansar es elegir no hacer nada cuando tenemos demasiado que hacer, ir más despacio cuando sentimos la presión de ir más rápido, parar en lugar de empezar. Descansar es escuchar nuestro cansancio y responder a nuestro cansancio, no a lo que nos cansa. Descansar es lo que ocurre cuando decimos una simple palabra: "¡No!

• Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.

• Nothing in the church makes people in the church more angry than grace. It's ironic: we stumble into a party we weren't invited to and find the uninvited standing at the door making sure no other uninviteds get in. Then a strange phenomenon occurs: as soon as we are included in the party because of Jesus' irresponsible love, we decide to make grace "more responsible" by becoming self-appointed Kingdom Monitors, guarding the kingdom of God, keeping the riffraff out (which, as I understand it, are who the kingdom of God is supposed to include).

• Children live in a world of dreams and imagination, a world of aliveness… There is a voice of wonder and amazement inside all of us; but we grow to realize we can no longer hear it, and we live in silence. It isn’t that God stopped speaking; it is that our lives became louder.

• There are a whole lot of people who are so freakin' busy—they've so cluttered up their lives—they're at their wits' end. And if they'd only just stop for a minute, they could hear the God of the universe whisper to them, “I love you.

• Think about how many of us have wondered why we don't fit, why our faith doesn't stabilize us, why we seem so out of sync with most of the world. Genuine faith is the isolating force in our lives that creates tension wherever we go. To put it another way, faith is the unbalancing force in our lives that is the fruit of God's disturbing presence.

• Spirituality is a mixed-up, topsy-turvy, helter-skelter godliness that turns our lives into an upside-down toboggan ride of unexpected turns, surprise bumps and bone shattering crashes ... a life ruined by a Jesus who loves us right into his arms.

• Sin does not always drive us to drink; more often it drives us to exhaustion. Tiredness is equally as debilitating as drunkenness. Burnout is slang for an inner tiredness, a fatigue of our souls. Jesus came to forgive us all of our sins, including the sin of busyness. The problem with growth in the modern church is not the slowness of growth but the rushing of growth.
