Her message was always the same: God loved the world, all evidence to the contrary, and we must not give up on God.

Hello, Dearest. I'm so glad it's you!" I've come to believe that this is how God feels when I pray, even at my least attractive.

It is not simply that God "loves," but that He is Love itself.

Love once, love always

we mortals have our divine moments, when love is satisfied in the completeness of the beloved object

There are natures in which, if they love us, we are conscious of having a sort of baptism and consecration: they bind us over to rectitude and purity by their pure belief about us; and our sins become that worst kind of sacrilege which tears down the invisible altar of trust.

In the end, I still have the same hope as my father - that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the last word.

Love is he, radiant with great splendor,And speaks to us of Thee, O Most High.

To live on Christ's love is a king's life.

Let Christ's love bear most court in your soul, and that court will bear down the love of other things. Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.

I am a glorious child of God. I am joyful, serene, positive, and loving.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.
