This book is so tough. It is so big. It demands such incredibly large-minded capacities to get around such an incredibly sovereign, great, wise God. Where is the tenderness?
And my argument is this: I need that kind of God too. I’m just a little boy inside lots of times—very confused, very frightened, very worried—and I don’t want God to just come with a Sherman tank displaying his firepower for me to admire. I want that. In my best moments I want that. I want to admire his firepower. But I need him to get out of the tank and put his arm around me. I need him to stay with me late at night and tell me, “I’m patient. I’m with you. I love you. I died for you. I’m your friend, the best you’ll ever have.”
