“He who considers more deeply knows that, whatever his acts and judgements may be, he is always wrong.”

“Stop to consider why your judgement might be wrong.”

“He had no trust in his own judgement any more, but there was no one else to rely on.”

“Guidance, like all God's acts of blessing under the covenant of grace, is a sovereign act. Not merely does God will to guide us in the sense of showing us his way, that we may tread it; he wills also to guide us in the more fundamental sense of ensuring that, whatever happens, whatever mistakes we may make, we shall come safely home. Slippings and strayings there will be, no doubt, but the everlasting arms are beneath us; we shall be caught, rescued, restored. This is God's promise; this is how good he is.”

“Something unfathomable moved behind his eyes. He sighed deeply.'Do you ever, even once,' he asked, 'consider the price of caring about you?”

“Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.”
