I'm going to tell you the most important secret of human life. The most critical need of the human soul is to be kind.

He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle, and dance in a glorious jubilee.

When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

Peace is a fruit of the Spirit, not the byproduct of accumulated wealth.

Honestly, I couldn't remember the last time I asked God to fill me with joy. Or to create a joyful spirit in my children. Goodness knows I've asked for peace and sanity and obedience. I've prayed for healing and wisdom. I've worshiped the Lord and studied His Word. But joy? How in the world did I forget about the beautiful, good, and pleasing gift of joy?

Better to be a loving person without knowing how you got there, than an expert no one can stand to be around.

Love is my gift to the world. I fill myself with love, and I send that love out into the world.

Love pouring out of you is evidence of God pouring into you.

Our human tendency is to be impatient with the person who cannot see the truth that is so plain to us. We must be careful that our impatience is not interpreted as condemnation or rejection.

Swedenborg, the Christian mystic, and the sentiment of charity as divine spoke deeply to him. He felt swept up in something far bigger than himself.

The essence of love is kindness.
