Be persistent with your disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord himself. Don't deify common sense.

God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
