Frankly the battle is won or lost precisely in the trifling areas of life…. It is the small fidelities that are the most helpful in training the heart toward God. These thousands upon thousands of little actions of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit slowly but surely change our heart. More than any other thing the small corners of life reveal who we truly are. The large virtues most often occur in a public forum and usually we are able to put on a good front when we know others are watching. It is in the unguarded moments, however, when no one is watching that what is really in our heart comes to the surface. And may the revelation of our heart be a cause for rejoicing in the goodness of God.” Richard Foster, Spiritual Classics.
