Do not seek the because – in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
It was finally becoming clear to her that love wasn’t about finding someone perfect to marry. Love was about seeing through to the truth of a person, and accepting all their shades of light and dark. Love was an ability.
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.
God loves you as though you are the only person in the world, and He loves everyone the way He loves you.
Jesus invites us to abide in his love. That means to dwell with all that I am in him. It is an invitation to a total belonging, to full intimacy, to an unlimited being-with. The light of the Spirit reveals to us that love conquers all fear.
God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.
We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.
I love my family, I’ll do anything for them.
For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It will never be about our love for God. It will always be about His magnificent love for us.
True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
Love ye all religions and all races with a love that is true and sincere and show that love through deeds...
I Love you so much, I don’t care what you think.
If it is conditional, it is not love.
I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.
Frankly, there isn’t anyone you couldn’t learn to love once you’ve heard their story.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
This is what God’s kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there’s always room for more.
