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.

I know now that Jesus is right, that love is the way. And this is why John said, "God is love," so that he who hates does not know God, but he who loves at that moment has the key that opens the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.

I'm going on believing and knowing that God is alive. You see, as long as love is around, God is alive. As long as justice is around, God is alive.

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.
