“He basically mansplained to me that our kids love us even when they act like little assholes, and then he informed me they’re going to grow out of it and take it all back once they stop being stupid.”

“How is the lack of prosperity a blessing to the righteous? God, in wisdom knowing what is best for them, accordingly deals with them by giving prosperity to them so far as He sees it will turn to their good, and denies it to them so far as He sees it will turn to their hurt. Whenever therefore God gives any temporal blessing to His saints, it is a sign of His favor, and whenever He denies any, the very denial is also a fruit of His favor.”

“Modern Western society teaches me to prioritize discovering my authentic self, peeling back the onion layers of my identity and living out of what I find there at all costs. But from a Christian perspective, who I am in relation to God is my authentic self. I find myself not in the depths of my psychology but in the depths of his heart. And when he calls you or me "child," "beloved," "friend," that's who we are, and any other identity--male, female, father, mother, child, friend-- flows out of that.”
