So you say you can't take it?

So you say you can't take it, the price is too high. The feelings are gone it seems the rivers run dry. You never imagined it could turn out so rough. You give and give and give and still it's never enough. Your emotions have vanished that once held a thrill, you wonder if love could be alive in you still. But that ring on your finger was put there to stay, you'll never forget the words you promised that day. Jesus didn't die for you because it was fun, He hung there for love because it had to be done, and inspite of the anguish his word was fulfilled, cause love is not a feeling it's an act of your will. - Don Francisco

This is a quote about marriage, but it has merits for preaching holiness, because even though it's not easy, it is a requirement that if you love God, you have to demonstrate that loe by denying yourself and living a holy life.
