Shut your mouth; open your eyes and ears.

Art can teach without at all ceasing to be art.

God loves us NOT because we're lovable, because He is love. Not because He needs to receive, because He delights to give.

God's love is not wearied by our sins & is relentless in its determination that we be cured at whatever cost to us or Him

Now repentance is no fun at all. It is something much harder than merely eating humble pie. It means unlearning all the self-conceit and self-will that we have been training ourselves into for thousands of years. It means undergoing a kind of death. In fact, it needs a good man to repent. And here's the catch. Only a bad person needs to repent: only a good person can repent perfectly. The worse you are the more you need it and the less you can do it. The only person who could do it perfectly would be a perfect person - and he would not need it.

God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us.

If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.
