• When we lose sight of God we become hard and dogmatic.
  We hurl our own petitions at God's throne and dictate to Him as to what we wish Him to do. We do not worship God, nor do we seek to form the mind of Christ. If we are hard towards God, we will become hard towards other people.

Thus am I, a feather on the breath of God.
