“If work really were such a good thing, then the rich would surely have found a way to keep it for themselves. HAITIAN PROVERB”
― Leonard Sweet, The Well-Played Life: Why Pleasing God Doesn't Have to Be Such Hard Work

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

“To please God, to be pleasing to God, is to “walk with Light,” to walk with God in joy, praise, holiness, and humility as image-bearers of the Light.”
