I who am without love cannot become love unless Love identifies me with Himself. But if He sends His own Love, Himself, to act and love in me and in all that I do, then I shall be transformed, I shall discover who I am and shall possess my true identity by losing myself in Him. And that is what is called sanctity.

you have often said, it is not about religion; it is about a relationship with God.

Because we are made in God's image, in fleeing from a relationship with a loving God, we are also running from being our most authentic selves.

The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.

The only cure for so much misfortune is love. It's not the force of gravity that keeps the universe in balance, but the binding power of love.

Affection is like the noonday sun; it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.

I believe that life is given us so that we may grow in love, and I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower.

All wise people say the same thing; that you are deserving of love, and that it's all here now, everything you need. When you pray, you are not starting the conversation from scratch, just remembering to plug back into a conversation that's always in progress.

One unquestioned text we read, All doubt beyond, all fear above; Nor crackling pile nor cursing creed Can burn or blot it: God is Love.

Maybe if we saw love more in each other, it might be easier to look up and accept it from God.

Don't for a minute think that God has forgotten about you or doesn't have your back. And don't base God's love or desire to help you on your opinion of yourself. Base it on who God says he is.

God's favor depends on His greatness, not our smallness. His great love, showered upon us ... a small life is lived by staring inward but a large one is lived by diving into God's love.
