Like this author, I believe the Lord has shown his kindness to me in withholding from me all kinds of the things I wanted. “I thanked God for sparing me from my dreams of greatness. In my mediocrity, he protected me. In allowing me to fail, he fathered me. In keeping me from success, he kept me for himself.”

Termite Architecture (Video)
