Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.

Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.
-Robert "Bob" Pierce

The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
