1 " I don't like lies," said Bran, and I knew I'd failed to keep the pain of his revelation from my face. " Not even lies of omission. Hard truths can be dealt with, triumphed over, but lies will destroy your soul. "
2 " For it is not we who call God by these names. We do not invent them. On the contrary, if it depended on us, we would be silent about him, try to forget him, and disown all his names. We take no delight in the knowledge of his ways. We tend continually to oppose his names: his independence, sovereignty, righteousness, and love, and resist him in all his perfections. But it is God himself who reveals all his perfections and puts his names on our lips. It is he who gives himself these names and who, despite our opposition, maintains them. It is of little use to us to deny his righteousness: every day he demonstrates this quality in history. And so it is with all his attributes. He brings them out despite us. The final goal of all his ways is that his name will shine out in all his works and be written on everyone’s forehead (Rev. 22:4). For that reason we have no choice but to name him with the many names his revelation furnishes us. "

3 " Don’t just pray, but reach out in prayer to get an understanding of God’s plan, of His revelation and vision for your life. "
