  • my desire in worship is to gaze so deeply into the face of God that I may experience His presence as much as I can here on earth. Then hopefully when I get to Heaven, I might recognize His face. -kari jobe
  • Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. - cs lewis
