"Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love."
"Faith gives you a concept of the dignity and worth of all work, even simple work, without which work could bore you."

They pursue it even during times of spiritual dryness, when there is no social or experiential payoff."
"The Bible teaches that the human struggle happens within a single entity - the human heart. The main human struggle is not between the heart and something else, but between forces that tear it in different directions. The great battle is deciding to what your heart's greatest love, hope, and trust will be directed."
