God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.

The universe shudders in horror that we have this infinitely valuable, infinitely deep, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, infinitely loving God, and instead of pursuing him with steadfast passion and enthralled fury — instead of loving him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; instead of attributing to him glory and honor and praise and power and wisdom and strength — we just try to take his toys and run. It is still idolatry to want God for his benefits but not for himself.

God doesn't need to have emergency meetings. He's never gathered the Trinity and asked 'What happened there'.

The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Discipline will never bring about love for God, but love for God will bring about discipline.

Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.
