"We cannot give love or strength that we do not ourselves have. So if we expect to clothe ourselves with the bond of charity- if we hope to bless others with God's truths and compassion and sustenance- then we must spend time with God in a very direct way. We do not have to rely on anyone else's witness of the Father. We can have direct encounters of our own. As Paul told the Ephesians, we can literally be 'filled with all the fullness of God'. Those encounters can fill and refill our cups every day of our lives."
"A Quiet Heart." Patricia T. Holland
