– All you owe is love.

– Love is a debt we never pay off.

– Love is God’s deepest longing for humanity.

– Love gives the same care to your neighbor that you give yourself.

1. Ask the One who has all the resources to help you pay this debt.

2. Fake it till you make it.

We would never think they could be combined but, because they are, they are strikingly beautiful. ~ Tim Keller,
