Every sin is an attempt to fly from emptiness.
Simone Weil
The criteria for coming to Jesus is weariness. Come overwhelmed with life. Come with your wandering mind. Come messy.

You cannot prove to yourself that you love God by examining your feelings toward Him. They are indefinite and they fluctuate. But just as far as you obey Him, just so far, depend upon it; you love Him. It is not natural to us sinful, ungrateful beings to prefer His pleasure to our own or to follow His way instead of our own way, and nothing, nothing but love of Him can or does make us obedient to Him.
Elizabeth Payson Prentiss
Some days I wake up with no appetite for God. Every day is a war for what we will love most. Don’t stop fighting. He’s worth it.

Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Mahatma Gandhi
