“God is relentless. And while He will not foist Himself on anybody – He loves you too much to do that – He will pursue you. In little ways and in subtle contexts, He will hunt you until the day you die. He will whisper in your ear. He will tug at your heart. He will show you just enough to make you intrigued, wondering if He was really there. And He will offer you a better way.”
― Byron Leavitt, Of Hope and Cancer: One Man's Story of God, Darkness, and Wonder
