Friendship is a deep oneness that develops when two people, speaking the truth in love to one another, journey together to the same horizon.
Timothy KellerYou can only afford to be generous if you actually have some money in the bank to give. In the same way, if your only source of love and meaning is your spouse, then anytime he or she fails you, it will not just cause grief but a psychological cataclysm. If, however, you know something of the work of the Spirit in your life, you have enough love "in the bank" to be generous to your spouse even when you are not getting much affection or kindness at the moment.
Timothy KellerGod looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?
