There are quotes and opening lines of books or articles that take my breath away. This one from Richard Foster did it for me this week:

Oh, let me tell you how much God desires our presence. How much God longs to hear from us. How much God yearns to communicate with us. At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving relationship with you… with me.” (Sanctuary of the Soul)

This will stir my heart and thinking for days.
