what he re-reads

"A verse must be read often,
and re-read and read again
before the wondrous message
of love and power
that God has put into
begins to appear.
Words must be turned over
and over in the mind
before their full force and beauty
takes possession of us.
One must look a long time
at the great masterpieces of art
to appreciate their beauty
and understand their meaning,
and so one must look a long time
at the great verses of the Bible
to appreciate their beauty
and understand their meaning.”
- R.A. Torrey

"If you would tell me
the heart of a man,
tell me not what he reads,
but what he re-reads."
- Francois Mauriac
