God love Quote by Patrick Davis
““Remember Samson’s parents when they saw what they thought was God, exclaimed, “we shall surely die, for we have seen God”. Hebrews reminds us that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. The God of all of creation, in his shining glory, too bright for us to behold—that God loves us. Yes, God came down and assumed fleshly form, and Tozer, I think rightly casts this, “The awful majesty of the Godhead was mercifully sheathed in the soft envelope of Human nature to protect mankind.”3””
