While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.

If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.

If you don't surrender to God, don't think you don't surrender. Everybody surrenders -- to something.

The action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.

You don't grow old. You get old by not growing.

When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent.

Grace makes you gracious. The Giver makes you give.
