To grasp love, I must grasp the fact that it is a creation of God and therefore it is forever beyond me. But the very fact that it is forever beyond me is the very thing that prompts me to forever pursue it.

With God, we will never be backed into a corner because He is bigger than any room.

We are always immeasurably bigger than the little person we’ve too often doomed ourselves to be.

God’s genius is as wide as the cosmos, while by comparison our intelligence can find room on the head of a pin.

Despite my best effort to make myself as large as absolutely possible, life will always be larger than me. That simple fact makes God not only a likelihood, but a necessity.

I don’t know how we explain our existence without explaining something bigger than us. And if we can explain something bigger than us, it must not be bigger than us. Hence, we are left with God.
