The first act of love is always the giving of attention.
Dallas Willard
Image
Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings. Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we do not.

Image
As Augustine say clearly, God being God offends human pride. If God is running the universe and has first claim on our lives, guess who isn't running the universe and does not get to have things as they please.

Image
The organized churches must become schools of spiritual discipline where Christians are taught how to own without treasuring (Matt. 6:21) how to possess without, like the rich young ruler, being possessed (Mark 10:22) how to live simply, even frugally, though controlling great wealth and power.

When [Satan] undertook to draw Eve away from God, he did not hit her with a stick, but with an idea. It was with an idea that God could not be trusted and that she must act on her own to secure her own well-being.

Unless you have already put God first, for example, what you will have to do to be financially secure, impress other people, or fulfill your desires will invariably lead you against God's wishes. That is why the first of the Ten Commandments, “You shall have no gods who take priority over me,” is the first of the Ten Commandments.

Image
A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.

Image
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. Those who come though me will be safe, he said. They will go in and out and find all they need. I have come into their world that they may have life, and life to the fullest

Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.
Dallas Willard
Image
We see that the soul is the deepest and the most vital part of the person as a whole. It is often treated as the person, and we actually do this when we talk about saving our soul.

Projects of personal transformation rarely succeed by accident, drift, or imposition.

Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.

Image
The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.

Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness

At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.

Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.

Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.
