And in this way we join this truth to what is good. And when we do this, the Lord can rekindle our love, our enthusiasm, our vision. Truth that is not lived is dead, lifeless, useless. When we fail to live the truth, then within our hearts we grow cold towards religion. We find it difficult to care.
Religion becomes as tasteless as food without flavor.
We will find that once again we long to do the Lord's will. It won't always be easy. It never is. And we won't always feel enthusiastic about obeying the Lord. But deep down, in our hearts, we will care.
