Soli Deo Gloria...
Reading an essay on Hans Christian Andersen, I was delighted by this quote taken from his autobiography:
He sums up his simple philosophy in his short autobiography, "The Story of My Life" in this mere fragment of a sentence: "...that there is a gracious God who makes all things work together for our good."
I like that. That's a good philosophy summing-up. In fact, I think that generally accounts for my philosophy too. After all, it combines my favorite word with my favorite Scripture verse, and gets in all the important points. It's a very simple and straightforward statement -- no complications, no scholarly lingo -- just two things: God's grace, and his good purpose. A humble sentence, but flush with meaning. This is a worldview which resonates in my inmost being.
I shall now be adopting this as a motto... :-)
