God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.

When you know how much God is in love with you then you can only live your life radiating that love.

My orphan heart thought love was to complete someone else and to be completed by them. I didn't understand that when two people who aren't whole try to complete each other they both end up with less than when they started. I didn't understand that the only one who can make a person whole is God.

I am able to love my God because He gives me freedom to deny Him.

The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.

The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in our way is a sign that God wants us to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God. We are bound by conscience to help him or her.
