I am pressed to admit that I don’t have the capacity to understand the bloodied horrors of a cross and the wild exhilaration of an empty tomb. But at the point that I think I completely understand God, I have at that very point humanized Him and in that very action I have lost Him. Therefore, I much prefer to simply marvel. Craig D.

About This Quote

When things are really hard, or when we are in danger, most of us ask ourselves, “Why me?” We may ask this question even though we know that it is not really meant to be a question. The real question is, “How can I be used to bring glory to God?” It is this question that defines us as Christians. We are not thinking about ourselves. We are thinking about God, His glory and the potential ways that He might use us.
