Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.

God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.

Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.
