I said, Where's all that delivering God's supposed to do?He snorted. You're right, the only deliverance is the one we get for ourselves. The Lord doesn't have any hands and feet but ours.That doesn't say much for the Lord.It doesn't say much for us, either.

In Sue Monk Kidd's "The Invention of Wings," a character expresses skepticism about divine intervention, questioning the effectiveness of God's deliverance. The dialogue reveals a belief that people are responsible for their own salvation and actions, as they are the ones who must enact change rather than waiting for divine assistance. This underscores a somber view of humanity's role in the world.
The exchange suggests that if God relies on humans to carry out deliverance, it reflects poorly on both the divine and humanity itself. It implies that personal responsibility is crucial, prompting readers to consider the impact of their actions in seeking justice and compassion in a flawed world.
