To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.
沒有被認識暸解、而被愛,是很舒適, 但那只是膚淺表面的愛; 被認識暸解、而不被愛,是我們最大的恐懼。 但被充分認識暸解之後、還真誠的被愛, 那就像是被神所愛。 其實這樣的愛是我們最需要的, 因這樣的愛會使我們從『假裝』中得自由, 從『自義』中得謙卑, 並能使我們禁得起任何生命中的難處。
— by Timothy Keller from his book 『 The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God』
