When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better.

Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.

Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.
