Brennan Manning God Quotations

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God.

You will trust God to the degree you know you are loved by Him.

There is an essential connection between experiencing God, loving God, and trusting God. You will trust God only as much as you love him. And you will love him to the extent you have touched him, rather that he has touched you.

God loves us as we are...not as we ought to be. because we are never going to be as we ought to be." --Brennan Manning

No man can adequately reach and explain a single word of God with all his words

Letting ourselves be loved by God is more important than loving God.

A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God.

I could more easily contain Niagara Falls in a teacup than I can comprehend the wild, uncontainable love of God.

The litmus test of our love for God is our love of neighbor.

Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of trusting God.
