"To find God,
you must look with all your heart.
To remain present to God,
you must remain present to your heart.
To hear his voice,
you must listen with all your heart.
To love him,
you must love with all your heart.
You cannot be the person God meant you to be,
and you cannot live the life he meant you to live,
unless you live from the heart."
- John Eldredge
(Waking the Dead)

“That is why I would remind you to stir up
(rekindle the embers of,
fan the flame of, and keep burning)
the [gracious] gift of God,
[the inner fire] that is in you…”
- 2 Timothy 1:6 AMP
