Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin. ~ Francis Chan

"Love is the felt experience of connection to another being. An economist says 'more for you is less for me.' But the lover knows that more of you is more for me too. If you love somebody their happiness is your happiness. Their pain is your pain. Your sense of self expands to include other beings. This shift of consciousness is universal in everybody, 99% and 1%." ~ Charles Eisenstein

Each day I am thankful for nights that turned into mornings;
Friends that turned into family;
Dreams that turned into reality and
Likes that turned into love.

"If you love someone, then their happiness is your happiness. Their pain is your pain. Your sense of self expands to include other beings. That's love -- the expansion of the self to include the other." Charles Eisenstein
