-Jim Elliot
If we know nothing of [the will], we shall know nothing whatever of Christian matters, and shall be far behind all People upon the earth. He that does not feel this, let him confess that he is no Christian. And he that despises and laughs at it, let him know that he is the Christian's greatest enemy. For, if I know not how much I can do myself, how far my ability extends, and what I can do God-wards; I shall be equally uncertain and ignorant how much God is to do, how far His ability is to extend, and what He is to do toward me.
-Martin Luther

-it's actually a quote of a quoted quote from some psychoanalyst from "Catcher in the Rye,"but I think it really applies to me (and especially Christians)
"A meeting between two people who complete each other, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, on a miracle."
