"Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing" Dostoyevski

From one quote to another. 

"When God's love for the world pierces our armour of fear... it is an awesome experience of calling and accountability." Parker J. Palmer

I hear many Christians clamouring to be filled with the Holy Spirit and less so being filled with the love and compassion of God. 

The reason is no doubt in our fear that it will demand more from us and it certainly will. But, this is what makes the Christian life - real life.
