"[L]ove comprises all resurrection, all salvation from whatever sort of ruin, and all regeneration, and cannot be manifested in any other way." - Dostoyevski, Notes from Underground, pg. 119

God's ways do not change. Still he blesses those on whom he sets his love in ways that humbles them so that all the glory can be his alone. Still he hates the sins of his people and uses all kinds of inward and outward pains and griefs to wean their hearts from compromise and disobedience. Still he seeks the fellowship of his people and sends them both sorrows and joys in order to detach their love from other things and attach it to himself. Still he teaches believers to value his promised gifts by making them wait for those gifts, and compelling them to pray persistently for them, before he bestows them.
