Quotes About Love

You are protected, in short, by your ability to love!

Amar es dar lo que no se tiene

God can fill in every gap with His great love. If you feel unloved, choose to receive the Father's affection; if you feel insecure, run into His strong arms; if you feel depressed because of abuse, remember that your heavenly Father was grieved when you were violated. And He can restore your broken heart.

The distant father. This is the father who was physically in the home but was disengaged. He may have been depressed. Or maybe he never learned to show emotion because of painful experiences in his own life such as post-traumatic stress disorder or physical abuse. This type of dad finds it very difficult to show affection to a child or to say, "I love you." So the child, who is starved for healthy affection, will assume that he or she is not loved.

The critical father. Many children grow up to hate their fathers (or mothers) because of negativity in the home. While parents must discipline their children in order to steer them in the right moral direction, a father who constantly berates his son or daughter will severely impair that child's success. This type of parent is often found in legalistic religious homes. Strict discipline imposed without a demonstration of tender love can turn a child away from faith.

Our heavenly Father is kind and gracious, and He is willing to forgive our mistakes instantly when we are honest about them. He even chooses to forget our sins. He does not keep a record of wrongs.

Let no one who loves be called unhappy. For even love unreturned has its rainbow.

Not that thick book called The Purpose of Your Life. You get that one later. These are "How To" manuals.

There is not a man in the world who is worth your dignity. Do not confuse self-sacrifice with love.

To love is a beautiful, mysterious event; do not miss it. Be neither too cautious nor too absorbed. Too many of us reason with our heart and experience with our heads.

The heart knows no logic beyond need and desire; the head has no senses except the common and the pragmatic. Neither, frankly, is particularly useful in love, anyway.

Jesus knew that the idea of leader as "loving servant of all" would not appeal to most people. Securing our own creature comforts is a much more common mission. But "servant" is His requirement for those who want to lead in His kingdom.
