Wisdom.

"Christian love, either towards God or towards man, is an affair of the will. Love is not merely a feeling. It is maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit. Reinforced by grace which both friends ask, and receive, from God." -C. S. Lewis

"There is another we can deliberately and intentionally practice love towards one another and that's prayer. When we pray for ourselves it's an act of faith. We believe that there's a God and that he hears our prayers. When we pray for other people it's still an act of faith but it's also an act of love. What is troubling them troubles us and what brings them joy brings us joy and we want to lift all those up to God." -Ben Needham

"Though our feelings come and go his love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins or our indifference. And therefore it is quite relentless in it's determination that we shall be cured for those sins. At whatever cost to us." -C. S. Lewis
