Desires repeatedly mastered for the sake of present duty make us richer. Lack of desire is poverty.

The only man who has the right to say that he is justified by grace alone is the man who has left all to follow Christ. Such a man knows that the call to discipleship is a gift of grace, and that the call is inseparable from the grace.
