From "The Path of Loneliness" by Elisabeth Elliott
"If we love someone more than we love God, it is worse than inordinate - it is idolatry. When God is first in our hearts, all other loves are in order and find their rightful places. If God is not first, other lovers, even those which are in no sense sexual, easily turn into self-gratification and therefore destroy both the lover and the beloved" p. 60
"How can we be sure not for thy harms is true? How shall we fix our eyes on things unseen? There is no answer but faith, faith is the character of God himself. That and no other is the anchor for our souls" p. 63
