We are becoming who we will be-forever.

God is the treasure, and where the treasure is, there is the heart. By this we may test our love to God. What are our thoughts most upon? Can we say we are ravished with delight when we think on God? Have our thoughts got wings? Are they fled aloft? Do we contemplate Christ and glory? A sinner crowds God out of his thoughts. He never thinks of God, unless with horror, as the prisoner thinks of the judge.

The union Christ had with the Father was the greatest that we can conceive of in this life-if indeed we can conceive of it.

Bodily pleasure is not in itself a bad thing. But when it is exalted to a necessity and we become dependent upon it, then we are slaves of our body and its feelings. Only misery lies ahead.

Now, of course, you have guidance devices and all sorts of things. The soul would be more like the way this is all hooked together, a system of coordination.

It's important to distinguish the soul from the spirit, or will, because the will or the heart or the spirit is the executive center of the self.

Find a person who has embraced anger, and you will find a person with a wounded ego.
