“In moments of decision, we are to try to make what seems to be the most loving, the most creative decision. We are not to play safe, to draw back out of fear. Love may well lead us into danger. It may lead us to die for our friend. In a day when we are taught to look for easy solutions, it is not always easy to hold on to that most difficult one of all, love.”
Madeleine L’Engle, Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art. Wheaton, IL: Harold Shaw Publishers, 1980, page 153.
