“15 The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: “I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.”
― Anonymous, Holy Bible Text Edition NLT: New Living Translation

“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

“Because love is only “amazing” to those who don’t think they deserve it—and the only way you will come to grips with your unworthiness of God’s love is when you begin to comprehend His holiness.”
― Jonny Ardavanis, Consider the Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace in the Character of God
