Most people spend most of their lives doing neither what they want to be doing nor what they ought to be doing.

The process of growing up is to be valued for what we gain, not for what we lose.
C. S. Lewis
Image
So that the one road for which we now need God's leadership most of all is a road God, in His own nature, has never walked. But suppose God became a man... He could surrender His will, suffer and die, because He was a man.
