For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. A.W. Tozer
About This Quote

The human mind has a tendency to move toward its mental image of God. The mind is a powerful thing and the more we think about something the more we become attached to it. On the one hand this is good because when we think about our own ideas we are able to make them reality. However, on the other hand, when we think about God, His thoughts become our thoughts and when we think about faith in Him our faith becomes faith in Him.
