I appreciate your commitment to truth as our hope (and our hope in the truth). You constantly (and beautifully) encourage us, giving hope ("never give up," and "the best is yet to be"); and yet your encouragement is not mere enthusiasm but truth.
Today you ask God to reveal our "resistance" and our "obedience." Like so many spiritual truth, you cling to the seeming paradoxes without compromise. Tim Keller used to say, "we are more wicked than we dare admit AND we are more loved than we dare dream." Both at the same time. You do that all the time, and I value it (and you) ever-so-much.

Thanks, Sam. I value you as well. Yes, the paradoxes are at the center, aren’t they?
