Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire; it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame; but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.
E.M. Bounds
It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.
Teresa of Avila
