Quotes by Philip Gulley

There is a certain transcendent joy in creating a thing of beauty. But even more fulfilling is to become a being of beauty.

...We always look for Christ amid magnificence. But ... Christ has a history of showing up amide the unlovely. Born in a dirty stall. Crowned with thorns. Died gasping on a shameful cross atop a jagged rise.We dont need to be beautiful for Christ to take us in. He is equally at home when were broken-down and dirty. Its like George Herbert wrote:And here in dust and dirt, O here,The lilies of Gods love appear.We think magnificence is in short supply, that dust and dirt choke out the lilies. But thats not true and never was. Lilies may root in dirt, but they reach for heaven—and in the reaching, reveal their magnificence.—chapter 24
