From the constitution of our nature, the former method is altogether incompetent and ineffectual, and the latter method will alone suffice for the rescue and recovery of the heart from the wrong affection that domineers over it.”

When we share in Christ’s sufferings, we too are broken open and able to love others more than we could before.
