(this was due at the library 4 days ago but im just starting it today)

“The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us. The dam breaks. it is not our loveliness that wins his love. It is our unloveliness.”

Fallen, anxious sinners are limitless in their capacity to perceive reasons for Jesus to cast them out. …. We cannot present a reason for Christ to finally close off his heart to his own sheep. With Christ, our sins and weaknesses are the very résumé items that qualify us to approach him.” (Whoever comes to me I will never cast out. John 6:37)

LAUHV this game

if ur gonna bash christians at least get your language right 😭 author possibly has catholic roots but is referencing the baptist tradition incorrectly (while im sure this is [sadly] an accurate portrayal of how some stupid boy treated her it has less to do with his religion and more to do with his horrible personality and lack of understanding of who God is)

“Our sinless high priest is not one who needs rescue but who provides it.” (on Hebrews 4:15)

“We tend to think that when we approach Jesus for help in our need and mercy amid our sins, we somehow detract from him, lessen him, impoverish him … Jesus Christ is comforted when you draw from the riches of his atoning work, because his own body is getting healed.”

“The cumulative testimony of the four gospels is that when Jesus Christ sees the fallenness of the world all about him, his deepest impulse, his most natural instinct, is to move toward that sin and suffering, not away from it.” …. “When Jesus, the Clean One, touched an unclean sinner, Christ did not become unclean. The sinner became clean.”

“Our natural intuition can only give us a God like us. The God revealed in Scripture deconstructs our intuitive predilections and startles us with one whose infinitude of perfections is matched by his infinitude of gentleness.”
