"If the law be a weariness, we must escape it by taking refuge with the spirit, for not otherwise can we fulfil the law than by being above the law. To escape the overhanging rocks of Sinai, we must climb to its secret top."
— George MacDonald

An internet quote:

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down... probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you have never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

"But the way we would see it, those of us who are trying to figure out our Christian conundrum, is that the God of the Old Testament is like the journey from stern father to friend. When you're a child, you need clear directions and some strict rules. But with Christ, we have access to a one-on-one relationship, for as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross."--Bono

And my personal favourite, from the argument in Book I of John Milton's Paradise Lost:

"And chiefly Thou, O Spirit, that dost prefer
Before all temples the upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for Thou know'st; Thou from the first
Wast present, and with mighty wings outspread
Dove-like sat'st brooding on the vast abyss
And mad'st it pregnant: what in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the height of this great argument
I may assert eternal providence
And justify the ways of God to men."

Thank you! That's a good one

HOW IS YOUR HEART?

Life offers right and wrong things to do
Be very careful on the journey you trod
Pause for just a moment and think…
Is your heart right with God?

It is easy to want our own way
Be lifted from darkness into light
God is watching the path you take
Just be sure your heart is right.

Your heart must be right with God
Keep it tender and always be kind
Let Him guide your life every day
Love is the key to Heaven that will bind.

Things may look right in what you do
But how is it…in God’s eyes?
Be careful to not be deceived
Wrong looks right, but it’s a disguise.

God sees…He hears…He knows
Everything we say and what we do
He will clean our slate every day
If we ask Him in prayer…will you?

Ha. Not entirely what the thread is about, but it was cautionary in those episodes.
