“One does not know love without pain.”

The Imitation of Christ, Thomas aKempis
“The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured in the object of its love.”
The Life of God in the Soul of Man
Henry Scougal, 1677
My conclusion, from reading the great men and women who have gone before, from all of my reading of Scripture, and all of my interaction with great living saints is that our soul’s become emaciated when they are affixed to anything less than God. Our heart’s shrink when they are fed by things, and accomplishments, and goals. Anything less than the God who created us is lacking in vital nutrients for the soul. Our soul’s need God even when we don’t know we need God.
