“God loves us, but the devil takes an interest.”

“Because God loves us, but the devil takes an interest.”

“Only the Hopeless love God.Because God may love us, but the devil takes an interest.”

“The devil takes us to the top of an exceeding high mountain and makes us dizzy; but God lets us look at the mountain.”

“The devil is busytrying to take from uswhat we get from God,and so God bids us hold fast.”

“Cry your grief to God. Howl to the heavens. Tear your shirt. Your hair. Your flesh. Gouge out your eyes. Carve out your heart. And what will you get from Him? Only silence. Indifference. But merely stand looking at the playbills, sighing because your name is not on them, and the devil himself appears at your elbow full of sympathy and suggestions. And that's why I did it....Because God loves us, but the devil takes an interest.”
