“Your deepest desire,” he observes, “is the one manifested by your daily life and habits.”6 This is because our action—our doing—bubbles up from our loves, which, as we’ve observed, are habits we’ve acquired through the practices we’re immersed in. That means the formation of my loves and desires can be happening “under the hood” of consciousness. I might be learning to love a telos that I’m not even aware of and that nonetheless governs my life in unconscious ways.”

“Christian carefulness does not come out of a place of timidity or confusion. Rather, it stems from a deep awareness of the powerful intellectual effects of the fall and the reality-distorting power of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Judging by outward appearances tends to be useful in confirming what we already believed to be true, but it is not how God looks at the world”

“Stop a moment and look around. This is our Father’s world. We are sacred, you and I. And that’s the answer to the question that ended chapter 2: Who do I think I am, anyway? We need not look anywhere but to the eyes of our Savior for our true identity, an identity which is profoundly complex, unfathomable, deep as the sea, and yet can be boiled down to one little word: beloved. That’s it. And that’s why it’s so silly (and perilous) to use your gifting to clothe yourself with meaning. Those clothes will never quite fit.”
