If a guy were dating my daughter but didn't want to spend the gas money to come pick her up or refused to buy her dinner because it cost too much, I would question whether he were really in love with her In the same way, I question whether many American churchgoers are really in love with God because they are so hesitant to do anything for Him." Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
Francis ChanOswald Chambers writes, โNever make a principle out of your experience; let God be as original with other people as He is with you.โ To that I would add, โBe careful not to turn othersโ lives into the mold for your own.โ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Francis ChanAgain, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.
