From "Knowing the Face of God"

"God has chosen to root his power in our shared concerns, to act in communion with us. He does not need our consent to act - he prefers it. Put simply, he waits to act until he has talked it over with us. And he rarely takes the initiative. He waits until it matters enough to us to bring it up with him."

-Tim Stafford

From "The Problem of Pain"

"Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them; but Love cannot cease to will their removal."

- C.S. Lewis
