"We
don't want to be like Jesus because we like plain old us better. We value what we see as our uniqueness apart
from Him. On some level, we are all
tempted to believe that we ourselves, even in our sin, are more interesting
than we would be in Christ……On one hand, this is what reveals our darkest bit
of idolatry- our desire to cling to Me, no matter what. Rather me in sin than Him in me. This is ultimately hell; being left to
ourselves and our desires, and being given free reign."
