Pursuit of greatness

Ravi Zacharias on relationships: "Men make the mistake of conquering instead of pursuing. Once a man has the girl, (married or in the relationship with them) they become bored because they feel like they've conquered. Arrived.. they feel no need to win them over and woo them. Love does not consist of conquering, it is a continual pursuing... Just like God never stops to pursue us relentlessly."

“Love is a commitment that will be tested in the most vulnerable areas of spirituality, a commitment that will force you to make some very difficult choices. It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of temptation that the Bible clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us.”
