Oh God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and make me thirsty for more. I am painfully consious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. Oh God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
-"Crazy Love" pg. 99
You my brothers were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to undulge in sinful nature; rather, surve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single comand: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
-Galatians 5:13-14
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in the year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
-Jeremiah 17:7-8
