The first act of love is always the giving of attention.

My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.

To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.

Relations between parents and children and siblings and mates. This is not external. We can't separate them.

The first act of love is always the giving of attention.

At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.

When Jesus directs us to pray, "Thy kingdom come," he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence.
