You are evidence of your mother's strength, especially if you are a rebellious knucklehead and regardless she has always maintained her sanity.

For God to prove himself on demand, physically, would be a grave disappointment, and the strongest Christians should be considerably grateful that he chooses not to do so.

The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught.

Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.
