Romans 4:8/Psalm 32:2
"Happy is the person whom the LORD does not consider guilty."
Tozer as quoted in Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
"I am ashamed of my lack of desire....I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still.... Begin in mercy a new work of love within me" (99).
Piper as quoted in Chan
Could I be satisfied with Heaven if Christ were not there? (101)
When I am loving, I can't sin.
Most of us feel we have either to buy God's love (pay Him back) or prove it (102).
Think of as Christ each person with whom I come into contact (118).
What am I doing right now that requires faith? "... unafraid to put ourselves in[to] situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through" (124).
"Obsessed people love those who hate them and who can never love them back.... [they] care more about God's Kingdom coming... than [about] their own lives being shielded from pain or distress (132-133).
