“The love of God is a hard love. It demands total self-surrender, disdain of our human personality. And yet it alone can reconcile us to suffering and the deaths of children, it alone can justify them, since we cannot understand them, and we can only make God's will ours.” HumansChildrenSelfHardSufferingPersonalityDemandSurrenderGods WillGod LoveJustifyReconcileDisdainHuman PersonalityHard Love Book:The Plague Source: The Plague
“My love affair with (him) had a wonderful element of romance to it, which I will always cherish. But it was not an infatuation, and here’s how I can tell: because I did not demand that he become my Great Emancipator or my Source of All Life, nor did I immediately vanish into that man’s chest cavity like a twisted, unrecognizable, parasitical homonculus. During our long period of courtship, I remained intact within my own personality, and I allowed myself to meet (him) for who he was.” MenLongI CanRomanceMy OwnWonderfulSourcePersonalityPeriodsDemandElementsAffairCrushCherishChestsInfatuationTwistedLove AffairCourtshipMy Own Personality Author:Elizabeth Gilbert
“We now demand glamour and fast-flowing dramatic action. A generation of Christians reared among push buttons and automatic machines is impatient of slower and less direct methods of reaching their goals...The tragic results of this spirit all all about us: shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies...the glorification of men, trust is religious externalities....salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit.

“In face of this modern nihilism, Christians are often lacking in courage. We tend to give the impression that we will hold on to the outward forms whatever happens, even if God really is not there. But the opposite ought to be true of us, so that people can see that we demand the truth of what is there and that we are not dealing merely with platitudes. In other words, it should be understood that we take this question of truth and personality so seriously that if God were not there we would be among the first of those who had the courage to step out of the queue.” PeopleIfsGivingShouldFirstsHappensWould BeChristianFacesFormStepsModernPersonalityOughtDemandUnderstoodOppositesImpressionBeing TrueLackingNihilismWhatever HappensPlatitudesQueues Author:Francis Schaeffer
