Part 1
Whenever we kneel to the temptation of some consoling indulgence, or struggle to acquire a power to protect us from a fear... we yield to, and serve the pleasure of a darkened desire that has promised, once again, to save us from (our) pain.
Part 2
Rushing through anything is a sure sign that you neither understand what you're doing in the moment, nor the real reason why you are actually doing so.
Part 3
Just as it is impossible to understand anything about the depth, breadth, and unimaginable power of the ocean while standing on one of its wave-washed shores... so is it impossible to realize anything about the true nature of Christ's life without actually entering into its Light.
