You made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it finds its place of rest in You

Seldom do any of our habits or flaws disappear by a process of extinction through reasoning or by the force of mental determination. But what cannot be destroyed may be dispossessed. The only way to dispossess the heart of an old affection is by the expulsive power of the new one... there is not one of these identify transformations in which the heart is left without an object. The heart's desire for one particular object may be conquered, but its desire to have some object of absolute love is unconquerable. ... Rather. you must try every possible method of finding deep access to your hearts for the love of him who is greater than the world. -Thomas Chalmers
