What we think about God is the most important thing about us
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. . . . The gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any [person] is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like. We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God. This is true not only of the individual Christian, but of the company of Christians that comprises the Church. Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God.”
- A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy , chapter one, "Why We Must Think Rightly About God," p. 1

I had found this benediction and have kept it near. I wish all felt this about God.
- Have courage for the great sorrows, and patience for the small ones. And when you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
