Biblical love is a choice to do good for another person regardless of what we feel. It is a decision to compassionately and righteously pursue the betterment of another person. This is why you can even love your enemies according to Christ's command.

God has commanded us to love our wives even when they don't deserve it—for if we love them only when they deserve it, where would grace be? In fact, we need to love our wives the most when they deserve it the least.

You can sacrifice and not love. But you cannot love and not sacrifice.

Passion always looks like sacrifice to people who are not in love.)

The truth is, Jesus didn't die for junk.

There is no prison so secure that love cannot free you. There is no captor so strong that love cannot liberate you. There is no sin so terrible that love cannot restore you.

He adored me in spite of my blunders. He never made me feel like the rules were more important than our relationship. He often corrected me, but he refused to punish me.

Formal religion only takes us so far — for it is both safe and doable. Love, however, knows no limits, takes costly risks, and looks for ways to give more.

The love we give away is the only one we keep.

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's. He's more particular.

How easy it is to love a child, how hard to love what a child turns into!

Forgive everyone for your own sins and be sure to tell them you love them which you do.
