Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.

Such as every man is inwardly so he judgeth outwardly.

He is truly great that is little in himself, and that maketh no account of any height of honors.

Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.

Jesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.

If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.

Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.
