Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.

You've got to do some work now. Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue. Virtue is about moral excellence.

This could all end at any moment...Therefore, be self-controlled.

The fact is, Scripture is filled with divine actions that don't fit our human standards of logic or morality. But they don't need to, because we are the clay and He is the Potter. We need to stop trying to domesticate God or confine Him to tidy categories and compartments that reflect our human sentiments rather than His inexplicable ways.

Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.

The fact is, I need God to help me love God. And if I need His help to love Him, a perfect being, I definitely need His help to love other, fault-filled humans.

...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.
