God-sufficiency.
Here is the secret of Divine all-sufficiency, to come to the end of
everything in ourselves and in our circumstances. When we reach this
place, we will stop asking for sympathy because of our hard situation or
bad treatment, for we will recognize these things as the very
conditions of our blessing, and we will turn from them to God and find
in them a claim upon Him. -AB Simpson

Christogenesis!
In the quantum view a person is a constellation of relationships, inner and outer: the degree of one’s relationships extends throughout space-time and endures in those who live on. Belief in the resurrection of Jesus undergirds the fact that life creates the universe, not the other way around.
-Illia Delio
Spurgeon on the Garden
Sin has utterly ruined that fair abode of all delights, and driven forth the children of men to till the ground, which yields thorns and briers unto them. My soul, remember the fall, for it was thy fall. Weep much because the Lord of love was so shamefully ill-treated by the head of the human race, of which thou art a member, as undeserving as any. Behold how dragons and demons dwell on this fair earth, which once was a garden of delights.See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat--Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits. There the mischief of the serpent in the first garden was undone: there the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed. My soul, bethink thee much of the agony and the passion; resort to the garden of the olive-press, and view thy great Redeemer rescuing thee from thy lost estate.
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon
