love people when they least expect it and least deserve it. That is the kind of love Jesus shows to us.

I live by the maxim, love people when they least expect it and least deserve it. That how you change someone's life forever.

Grace is loving people for who they are, where they are. It's loving people *before* they change, not just *after* they change. And that grace is the difference between holy and holier-than-thou. Holiness, in its purest form, is irresistible. That's why sinners couldn't be kept away from Jesus. Hypocrisy has the opposite effect. It's as repulsive to the irreligious as the Pharisees' religiosity was to Jesus.

Holiness is not a bid to be noticed or loved or accepted by God. Holiness, rather, is acting out and acting upon the truth that God has noticed, loved and accepted us long before we did anything to warrant that.

A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother

That is not all I need. I need dogs. A house filled with dogs and a smart, funny, kind, loving girlfriend or wife.

There is no slave out of heaven like a loving woman; and, of all loving women, there is no such slave as a mother.

When you love someone, and you love them with your heart, it never disappears when you are apart. And when you love someone and you've done all you can do, you set them free, and if that love was true... when you love someone it will all come back to

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

I know of only one duty, and that is to love

The greatest happines of life is the conviction that we are loved-loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts; then it is real and pure.
