Above all, the divine love is salvific: It seeks the lost, suffers with the afflicted, and redeems the fallen.

God loves us despite our shortcomings and sins, and his love gives meaning to our lives and to the life of the world.

He (God) loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.

God's love for me is perfect because it's based on Him not on me. So even when I failed He kept loving me.

God loves you just the way you are. But He loves you too much to leave you stuck in a state of defeat

More than once I have been humiliated by my resemblance to God the father; He is always longing for the love of His children and trying to get it on the cheapest and laziest terms He can invent.

He loves each one of us like there is only one of us to love (when God whisper your name)

And He that made man for love, by the same love He would restore man to the same bliss, and overpassing; and like as we were like-made to the Trinity in our first making, our Maker would that we should be like Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, in heaven without end, by the virtue of our again-making.

For He that made man for the sake of love, would by the same love restore man to bliss, even greater than before.

And at the moment that our soul is breathed into our body, when we are created as sensory beings, mercy and grace at once begin to work, taking care of us and protecting us with pity and love; and during this process the Holy Spirit forms in our faith the hope that we shall rise up above again to our substance, into the virtue of Christ, increased and accomplished through the Holy Spirit.

Love is the way back into Eden. It is the way back to life.

Do you believe that the God of Jesus loves you beyond worthiness and unworthiness, beyond fidelity and infidelity—that he loves you in the morning sun and in the evening rain—that he loves you when your intellect denies it, your emotions refuse it, your whole being rejects it. Do you believe that God loves without condition or reservation and loves you this moment as you are and not as you should be.
