From Crazy Love by Francis Chan:
Oswald Chambers wrote, “Never make a principle out of your experience; let God be as original with other people as He is with you.” To that I would add, “Be careful not to turn others’ lives into the mold for your own.” Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending.
Nothing compares to being truly, exuberantly wanted by your children.
When we love God because we feel we should love Him, instead of genuinely loving out of our true selves, we have forgotten who God really is.
