"Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing of blessing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded [Exodus 16]. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself, it has to be given back to Him that he may make it a blessing to others."

Nastasya Filippovna turned with curiosity to Myshkin.
"Is that true?" she asked.
It's true," whispered Myshkin.
"Will you take me as I am, with nothing?"
"I will, Nastasya Filippovna."

I read slow, but I'm really starting to "get" the Idiot. It's a beautiful book.
Just now into part 2.
