Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.

I can't sing a lick but that's nobody's business. God listens when I sing to Him and He thinks I am an opera star.

Teach us, O God, that nothing is necessary to Thee. Were anything necessary to Thee that thing would be the measure of Thine imperfection: and how could we worship one who is imperfect? If nothing is necessary to Thee, then no one is necessary, and if no one, then not we. Thou dost seek us though Thou does not need us. We seek Thee because we need Thee, for in Thee we live and move and have our being. Amen.

The Bible is a supernatural book and can be understood only by supernatural aid.

God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.
