"All of us are called by and to grace, but few of us choose to listen to the call."

From The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck: 

<<Christ's  assertion  "Many  are  called, but  few  are  chosen"  I  would  trans-late  to  mean  "All  of  us are  called  by  and  to  grace,  but  few  of  us  choose  to  listen to  the  call.">>

Love is not simply giving...

 "Love  is  not  simply  giving;  it  is  judicious giving   and  judicious  withholding  as  well.  It  is  judicious praising   and  judicious  criticizing.  It  is  judicious  arguing, struggling,   con-fronting,   urging,   pushing   and   pulling   in addition  to  comforting.  It  is  leadership.  The  word  "judicious" means  requiring  judgment,  and  judgment  requires  more than   instinct;   it   requires   thoughtful   and   often   painful decision-making." (By M. Scott Peck The Road Less Traveled)
