Quote:
Even if the Lord has given someone to you, He will not allow you to be attached to him or her. He will not allow you to be attached to your wife, your children, or your friends. Even the Isaac that God promised had to be put on the altar. Many Christians have failed because their hearts are captured by people.

I would say that Watchman Nee failed. In fact, do we know that Nee was a disciple, based on this hideous comment...love but don't get attached...?
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
