In The Pursuit of God, A.W. Tozer says,
“Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image.”
I did that–I tried to squeeze God into the job description I made up for him. It didn’t work out well, God kept overflowing my boundaries. Why am I not surprised?
