You can redefine your external world by an internal experience with the love of God.

What the world needs is not 'a little bit of love', but a surgical operation.

Love is luring us forward...to the fullness of our own being

Perfect love of God means the complete union of our will with God's.

Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self; the heavenly by the love of God.

If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.

The more radical the change, the greater the joy. And it's worth every effort, for this is the joy of God.

Rather than ask God to change your circumstances, ask him to use your circumstances to change you. Life is a required course. Might as well do your best to pass it.

Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life" (Prov. 4:23 NCV). Do you want to be happy tomorrow? Then

He [satan] vies for the bedside position, hopping to be the first voice you hear. He covets your waking thoughts, those early, pillow-born emotions. He awakes you with words of worry, stirs you with thoughts of stress. If you dread the day before you begin your day, Mark it down; your giant has been in your head.

Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. ROMANS 12:2 NLT

Shame is a child of self-centeredness. Heaven's occupants are not self-centered, they are Christ-centered. You will be in your sinless state. The sinless don't protect a reputation or project an image. You won't be ashamed. You'll be happy to let God do in heaven what he did on earth—be honored in your weaknesses. Heads bowed in shame? No. Heads bowed in worship? No doubt.
