“By His gracious condescension God became man and is called man for the sake of man and by exchanging His condition for ours revealed the power that elevates man to God through his love for God and brings God down to man because of His love for man. By this blessed inversion, man is made God by divinization and God is made man by hominization. For the Word of God and God wills always and in all things to accomplish the mystery of His embodiment.” MenMadeChristianMysteryConditionsAll ThingsBlessedSakeAccomplishGods WillGod LoveOrthodoxWord Of GodHis LoveGraciousOrthodox ChristianEmbodimentExchangingCondescensionInversions Author:Maximus the Confessor
“When you embrace the mystery and open yourself to it, a new life is created, resistant to the old problems. You will notice at times that the new life isn't what you asked for. But asking for specific items or for particular events to occur isn't how I define prayer. I cannot guarantee that the orders you place with God will always be filled. Prayer is not a test of God, but a call for help to find your inner strength and talent.” HelpingProblemLife IsOrderPrayerMysteryTalentEventsParticularTestsAskingFilledEmbraceGods WillGuaranteesInner StrengthNew LifeItemsGuarantees That Author:Bernie Siegel

“Sierra felt full of hope and confidence in God. She knew who she was. And she knew Whose she was. Whatever mysterious plan God had for her life, it would be an interesting one. As Christy had said earlier, God writes a different story for each person. Sierra decided hers might not be a bestseller or even a thriller. It certainly wasn't a romance. But it was turning into a fine mystery. And she could live with that.” WritingPersonsSaidDifferentStoriesMightWould BeRomanceFeltInterestingPlansMysteryFineDecidedGods WillMysteriousThrillersConfidence In GodSierraChristy Miller Book:With this Ring Source: With this Ring
“God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, "0 Lord, Thou knowest." Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God's omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.” WayMayEyeDealsLordMysteryDivineTruth IsResponsibleRaisesElectionProfoundSaintGods WillMysteriousReverenceSovereigntyTheologianPredestinationOmniscience Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
