Only the truth would suffice. Only total devotion would do. There are no shortcuts to this love. And when I look at it I say, “This is all beyond me.” This, my friends, is where I end and where He takes over.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
(James 1:27)
