Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. “Faith is to believe what you do not see the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” ~ Saint Augustine.“In order to discover the character of people we have only to observe what they love.” ~ Saint Augustine.Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” ~ Saint Augustine “Hope has two beautiful daughters their names are Anger and Courage.All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.” ~ Saint Augustine He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts.

Let them take heart from the one and regret the other. My bad points are my faults and your judgements on them. My good points are instilled by you and are your gifts.
They will take heart from my good traits, and sigh with sadness at my bad ones.
A brotherly person rejoices on my account when he approves me, but when he disapproves, he is loving me. This is a mark of a Christian brother's mind, not an outsider's-not that of 'the sons of aliens whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity' (Ps. A brotherly mind will love in me what you teach to be lovable, and will regret in me what you teach to be regrettable. “Do they desire to join me in thanksgiving when they hear how, by your gift, I have come close to you, and do they pray for me when they hear how I am held back by my own weight?.
