"The heart is but a small vessel; and yet dragons and lions are there, and 
there likewise are poisonous creatures and all the treasures of wickedness; 
rough, uneven paths are there, and gaping chasms. There also is God, there 
are the angels, there life and the Kingdom, there light and the apostles, 
the heavenly cities and the treasures of grace: all things are there."

St. Macarius the Great.

"Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good 
conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have 
turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, 
understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm."  
1 Timothy 1:5-7

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
