Because we put ourselves in God’s place, He put Himself in our place.

Those who condemn the self-righteous for the sake of self-discovery do so with ironic self-righteousness.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.

When we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.

We deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.

Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
