What's simple is that everything good comes from God, and everything bad comes from man. Where it gets complicated is that everything seemingly good but ultimately bad comes from man, and everything seemingly bad but ultimately good comes from God.

We want the mind of God; we seek the heart of Christ - and even pray it, then receive them to a degree. But people are unable to bear these fully: for He is both stronger and more sensitive than we.

I pity the man who praises God only when things go his way.

To understand even remotely the holy omnipotence of God is to understand at least from mostly to wholly the magnificence of Christ.
