For I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath” (Hos 11:9). That is an astounding statement.

God’s being God is revealed in his mercy. Mercy is the expression of his divine essence.

I went away and cried to the Master of the Universe, 'What have you done to me? A mind like this I need for a son?
