Therefore we do not lose heart

"For how can a man shake off his habits, what can become of him if he is in such bondage to the habit of satisfying the innumerable desires he has created for himself?...
...He is isolated,  and what concern has he with the rest of humanity?"      

-The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

 

If what we call love, doesn't take us beyond ourselves, it is not really love. Love wastefully, love selflessly, love fearlessly because...

"There is no fear in love.
                But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
                 The one who fears is not made perfect in love. "
                                                                                 I John 4:18
