A real Christian is an odd number, anyway.
He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen;talks familiarly everyday to someone he cannot see;expects to go to heaven on the virtue of another;empties himself in order to be full;admits he is wrong so he can be declared right;goes down in order to get up;is strongest when he is weakest;richest when he is poorest;happiest when he feels the worst.He dies so he can live;forsakes in order to have;gives away so he can keep;sees the invisible;hears the inaudible;and knows that which passeth knowledge.
—A. W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous (Harrisburg, PA: Christian Publications, 1955), 156.
