The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus; it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
You will not lift the veil of my body until you lift the veil over my face.
~ Jason Evert
...Ponnammal set the example for the others by quietly doing what they did not care to do. Her spirit created a new climate in the place, and the time came when there was not one nurse who would refuse to do whatever needed to be done.
~ Elisabeth Elliot
I’ve crossed a world of sand and tears in search of you. I love you. I’ve done nothing in my life worth more than that.
~ V.s. Carnes
While we love, we ought to love.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Thank God for His great love.
God first love us.
You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests.' It certainly is not easy to hear that voice in a world filled with voices that shout: 'You are no good, you are ugly; you are worthless; you are despicable, you are nobody- unless you can demonstrate the opposite.' These negative voices are so loud and so persistent that it is easy to believe them. That's the great trap. It is the trap of self-rejection.
~ Henri Nouwen
Nothing can create more dramatic changes than simple and pure love and compassion. When people pray, their prayers are listened, but the answers manifest in forms that their selfishness blinds them to see.
~ Robin Sacredfire
Love actually is a great act of the will. It's when I say, I desire your good, not for my sake but for yours. To love is to break out of the black hole of the ego and say, My life is about you.
~ Robert E. Barron
Levi's gaze sought out Miss Spencer. Eden. All she had to do was smile to release those little frissons of lightning in him. As that thought crossed his mind, she glanced up, and Levi realized he was wrong. She didn't have to smile. All she had to do was look at him. Heaven help him. He was in bad.
~ Karen Witemeyer
You are the enemy and a vessel through which the cure flows - if Christ lives in you, then you are an embodiment of the very shot this hostile and crying world needs as it, in every waking moment, struggles belligerently to resist.
~ Criss Jami
If you don't follow Christ or love others in the way Christ said, and let yourself be bogged down instead with fearfulness, hatred, violence and the persecution of others - HOW can you call yourself a 'Christian'?
~ Christina Engela
Kind deed is a seed of love.
There is no greater love than the love of God.
I'm not a political Christian; for the most part I allow people even their vain, earthly rights. And I certainly don't see anti-Christians as bad or evil (as if they actually have the power to pose any kind of threat against God Almighty), but rather complete idiots I was commanded to love.
Giving, goodness and generosity expresses love.
The love of God is the first love.
How like God's love yours has been to me- so wise, so generous, and so unsparing! exclaimed Pancratius. Promise me one thing more- that is, that you will stay near to me to the end, and carry my last legacy to my mother.
~ Nicholas Wiseman
My idea of Christmas is love, so pure and so divine.
Love is the strength of the spirit.
You have soul ties with the people you sleep with and even when you are no longer in bed with them, they remain in your head. Your thoughts are consumed by their absence in your life. We feel disconnected from something when we give away our most prized bodily asset to a person that can’t even spell our last name correctly
~ Chris Marvel
How can I use these [romantic] desires to love him, to serve him as a brother in Christ...
~ Chris Damian
