My mom taught me she loved me and God loved me and nothing else mattered.

This is love: the flowering of love is meditation.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

God is just, merciful, good, wise, loving.

there is nothing we can do or not do that would cause God to love us any more than he does right now.

I truly believe the greatest gift we can give the world is our true self living in loving union with God.

Living and swimming in the river of God's deep love for us in Christ is at the very heart of true spirituality. Soaking in this love enables us to surrender to God's will, especially when it seems so contrary to what we can see, feel, or figure out ourselves. This experiential knowing of God's love and acceptance provides the only sure foundation for loving and accepting our true selves. Only the love of God in Christ is capable of bearing the weight of our true identity.

And love is part and union in itself Of all that is in nature, brilliant, pure-- Of all in feeling, sacred and sublime.

The distance of your love is the distance of your life.   Love is exactly as strong as life.

The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, we shall have discovered fire.

Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.

A world marked by so much injustice, innocent suffering, and cynicism of power cannot be the work of a good God.
