“No one is likeable from the out.”

“Mackenzie, I am what some would say ‘holy,
and wholly other than you.’ The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the
best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive,
which often isn’t much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it
falls pitifully short of who I really am. I’m not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far
more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.”
