Alexander MacLaren, ( ) Give me a love that leads the way, the faith that nothing can dismay, the hope that no disappointments will tire, the passion that will burn like fire. Amy Carmichael, ( ) It is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest gets access to the ear of God. E.M. Bounds, ( ) To become like Christ is the only thing in life worth caring for. Only those who make this quest the supreme passion of their lives can hope to reach it. Henry Drummond, ( ) God loves with a great love the one whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible. William Booth, ( ) 4
