In the final analysis our great problem with holiness is not
that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts
are rebellious. We are selfish, that's our problem. And the
fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep
the pride goes.
-- Floyd McClung
...being created from the love of God and continually being loved by God are not enough for us. We want and also absolutely depend on the explicit confirmation by others of the life given us by God. We need God's love for us to be met, confirmed, and extended by the love and affirmation of others. That is why when people feel unloved by others, it is little consolation to tell them that they are loved by God.' Paul Waddel
