The crossroads are down here: which way to pull the rein? The left brings you but loss, the right nothing but gain. The difficulty in life is the choice.
It is this way. The Lord, he is always voting for a man; and the devil, he is always voting against him. Then the man himself votes and that breaks the tie.
In darkness there is no choice. It is light that enables us to see the differences between things; and it is Christ who gives us light.
God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
God gave us a free choice because there is no significance to love that knows no alternative
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

ISAAC BARROW (1630–1677)
