...make every effort 

to supplement your faith

            with virtue,

and virtue with knowledge,

and knowledge with self control,

and self control with steadfastness,

and steadfastness with godliness,

and godliness with 

              brotherly affection,

and brotherly affection with love.

                         2 Peter 1. 5-7

(It doesn't just happen.

As my friend Chris Davis says,

"The proof of desire

                is in the pursuit."

New affections are the basis

        of new behaviors.)
