Remember this; or you may fall into error by fixing your minds so much upon the faith which is the channel of salvation as to forget the grace which is the fountain and source even of faith itself. [. . .] Grace is the first and last moving cause of salvation; and faith, essential as it is, is only an important part of the machinery which grace employs. [. . .] Never make a Christ out of your faith, nor think of as if it were the independent source of your salvation. Our life is found in “looking unto Jesus,” not in looking to our own faith. [. . .] The peace within the soul is not derived from the contemplation of our own faith; but it comes to us from Him who is our peace. ↗

I believe that the human race has developed a form of collective schizophrenia in which we are not only the slaves to this imposed thought behavior, but we are also the police force of it. ↗

But most importantly, we can all be donors. It does not matter how old you are, your race, where you live; all of us can give the gift of life. ↗
