“Our blessing of God is grounded in God’s blessing of us. But we must not think that this is some sort of transactional arrangement, as though we bless God so that he blesses us, our praise of him simply feeding coins into the meter so that we can remain parked in his favor. No, we praise God for the very way he is. Praising him is something we get to do; it is the reward, not the fee.”

“In Western culture we have collapsed sex and intimacy together to the extent that it is hard for people to conceive of intimacy that is not sexual at its core. So, more and more, we associate touch with being sensual rather than familial.”

“When people are suddenly confronted with the inescapable reality that God truly knows their hearts and has heard their prayers and is intimately acquainted with all their ways, they are encouraged to press on and to persevere.”
