”Faithfulness lives where love is stronger than instinct.” Paul Carvel

 I like this quote. It has directed my reflections a number of times. It reminds me how important it is to keep my instincts and desires on the leash of self-control. I want what I know is good, right and true to define my life, not my feelings, or my animal inclinations. Feelings and physical desires are meant to compliment, not direct our choices. Hold only to decisions that reflect the goodness of love, not the gluttony of instinct.  

“Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.” Prov.3.3 “Conversations Within” ts 1/4/2021
