Quotes About Love

How had he become her every moment? How had a man become her whole life? How could a person consume all her attention? She didn't know how it had happened. She wasn't the sort of woman that gives her life away to anyone. Her life was too important to give to one man. Above all, her life was not her own but belonged to the world, which she wanted to change.

We could not learn love in the abstract any more than we could learn patience and the other cardinal virtues. Just as we cannot know the "fellowship of his sufferings" without suffering, we also come to know real fellowship with our fellowmen only by serving them.

To be cheerful when others are in despair, to keep the faith when others falter, to be true even when we feel forsaken—all of these are deeply desired outcomes during the deliberate, divine tutorials which God gives to us—because He loves us.

ours has been a time of relative affluence in which we have allowed full generations to be nurtured on the notion that, somehow, they are the center of the universe, and that meeting their needs should become the priority task of others - others who are expected to be very devoted. Some expect to receive - indeed, they demand - unilateral love.

Perhaps our difficulties with receiving justified reproof stem from out thinking of love as being all sweetness. Love surely includes sweetness. But love must sometimes be tough love, sinew as well as sweetness. So it is with loving communication, also.

One of the ways, therefore, we will be "proved herewith" is our determination as to whether or not we love others enough to give and to receive such vital communications. We may quickly say that communicating thusly with those close to us is difficult; indeed, it is, but with whom else is it really possible? Are not the people proximate to us our tiny portion of humanity, given to us by God as our social stewardship?

Te amo, Señor. Ven, trae tu luz y expulsa la oscuridad. Trae tu verdad y expón las mentiras. Hay muchas cosas en mí que me impiden dar y recibir amor. Límpiame con tu sangre. Libérame de esas mentiras que me impiden conocer tu amor. Quiero caminar hacia la luz en el camino que has elegido para mí.

Nos convertimos en el hermano mayor cada vez que respondemos a los dolores de la vida fuera del amor de Dios. En lugar de dar perdón y misericordia a los demás, construimos muros de protección a nuestro alrededor. Nos aferramos a nuestra amargura y falta de perdón como si fueran una forma de defensa, pero no lo son. En realidad, son muros de prisión, que nos alejan de la vida de libertad y amor que Dios quiere.

Jesus is the very heart of the Father revealed.

Compassion compels us to go further in love.

A veces hacemos promesas innecesarias a Dios y luego pensamos que nuestra promesa es la base de nuestro perdón. Pero Dios nos pide que renunciemos a nuestro derecho de demostrar que somos dignos del amor que nos da. Este engaño nos pone en una situación de mucha vulnerabilidad.
