The Prize: Living a life that loves God and loves others in such a way that leads others to love God.
“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.”
C.s. lewis
“Habits eat willpower for breakfast.”

“The orientation of the heart happens from the bottom up, through the formation of our habits of desire. Learning to love (God) takes practice.”

“Spiritual disciplines (Holy Habits) are the main way we offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice. We are doing what we can do with our bodies, our minds, our hearts. God then takes the simple offering of ourselves and does with it what we cannot do, producing within us deeply ingrained habits of peace, love, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
