Margin and Rest (cont.)

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves."

-Psa. 127:1,2 (NIV)


"I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber."

-Blaise Pascal


"But the saints who have separated their bodies to God have resources not at the disposal of the ordinary person running on fumes and promises, where so many of us find ourselves today. We have to learn how to get where those resources are and to take our bodies into the rest of God."

-Dallas Willard
