Memory Verse I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4 ESV
Catch-up day Psalms 119
Christianity is a divine project of replacing inferior joys in inferior objects with superior joys in God Himself. John Piper Why I Love the Apostle Paul, p. 162.
Lord, because you have made me, I owe you the whole of my love; because you have redeemed me, I owe you the whole of myself; because you have promised so much, I owe you my whole being. Moreover, I owe you as much more love than myself as you are greater than I, for whom you gave yourself and to whom you promised yourself. I pray you, Lord, make me taste by love what I taste by knowledge; let me know by love what I know by understanding. I owe you more than my whole self, but I have no more, and by myself I cannot render the whole of it to you. Draw me to you, Lord, in the fullness of your love. I am wholly yours by creation; make me all yours, too, in love.---St. Anselm of Canterbury
