“ what God asked of Abraham, but did not finally require, he was willing to do himself, for the love of you and me. He had a choice. On one side was his own beloved Son, stainless, and perfect. On the other stand, you and me, and tangled in all the sin that makes us unworthy of his blessing. The only way we could be reconciled, was by way of sacrifice. And God still loved the world that he gave his only Son.”

“God cannot and will not give us a sense of lasting pleasure apart from him, because it violates his purpose and our design. Psalm 34:8 reads, “‘Taste and see that the Lord is good’”.

“It’s hard to carry a cross when comfort is your god. The gods of control and comfort are likely in direct conflict with the Lord God who has called you to a new kind of life.”

What a great line.

I’m not crying, you are. 😭
This book is too much for my heart. I cry after every chapter (almost. )
So well written. I must finish this book.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that was hard to put down. I’ve already teared up once and felt the adrenaline of not knowing how the chapter was going to end.
I really hope the rest of this book continues this way.
