You know. Life's short. If you don't try new things, you'll never know what you're best at. And you can only make time for new things by quitting the things you know don't work for you. ↗

Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him. ↗

The tension drained from her face and she softened in his hold until she was again the fluid, responsive woman who had kissed him within an inch of his life. This time he knew better than to restrain her when she slipped from the bed. He bit back an appeal for her to stay with him. If his life depended on it, he couldn’t say whether he wanted her to stay an hour, a day, or forever. ↗

If you wonder why you choose to worship other gods rather than wholeheartedly devote yourself to the Lord you love, examine the thought and desires that captivate your heart. That’s where you’ll fin the answer to every sin and failure in your life. Don’t be deceived into thinking that you need to develop more willpower. We need to develop godly thoughts and desires. ↗

I així, sense voler-ho, el seu excés d’amor em va encomanar un rebuig per qualsevol sentiment i fins i tot una por als acostaments emotius i vibrants cap a una altra persona. Vaig aprendre una lliçó per fugir de tot compromís sentimental: a més estimació, més perills de tota mena. No t’acostis i no et cremaràs. L’amor crema. L’amor consumeix. L’amor mata. ↗
