Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.

God seems to be about turning our loves around and using them toward the great love that is their true object.

To think or care for another more than you think or care for yourself & to think or care for yourself more than you think or care for another is nothing but idolatry.

When people say, "I know God forgives me, but I can't forgive myself," they mean that they have failed an idol, whose approval is more important than God's.

Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.

Mindset of the man too busy: I am too busy BEING God to become LIKE God.
