“At any given moment, each of us is a mixed bag of motives, the known and the unknown. In the end, God understands we all are pretty messed up but not outside the realm of his ability to save.”
“Maybe God’s idea of my salvation trumps the version I am too willing to settle for. Uncovering your true reasons for wanting God and learning God’s real purpose for wanting you are a couple of revelations you need to have in order to get down heaven’s road. The first requires a brutal self-honesty, and the second an elastic head and heart, both of which you sometimes need a little help acquiring.”
