the marriage analogy is helpful, however, I really don’t think we should be using such analogies unless we’re married! how is that analogy supposed to relate to me!? or to you?! maybe in a few years however, hopefully.

Often times I think of it in terms of a marriage/friendship analogy. In a marriage, you might not always “feel” like loving your wife, but if you make yourself do things you know are loving to her, the emotions will (eventually) follow. Plus, that’s half of what it means to love someone - to care for, by the will. (the other half is to delight in, I think)

I like this a lot. I’ve thought about proper motivations with spiritual disciplines and I found this tres helpful. It’s a well balanced perspective.

I love using colons and semicolons properly! I wince when people don’t know how!

“It doesn’t matter if in the morning I don’t feel like reading the Word: I have a desire and conviction that knows by faith it is good for my soul and it needs to be done.”

That’s a good and helpful way of putting it. I think I know exactly what you mean.

As a geeky side note, good job on using the colon properly and well.
