"In essence, love was sowed in our hearts by the Holy Spirit at our new birth. Allow me to return to my premise. Remember, I believe that love is what should and will define the Christian as long as it is given proper nourishment. It is that way by design. But just as DNA defines and determines a set path and behavior for individual cells, but that path can be thwarted by illness, so the seed of love that has been planted within us can falter and fail to yield fruit because of the competition—“ cares” and “riches.” It is true that what you love will control you. And we are hard-wired to have only one top spot. So if God isn’t in control, who is? The question could be rephrased: Whom or what do you love? Your car, house, investment portfolio? Your reputation, position, convenience, comfort?"
