“If you feel unloved, it is not because you’re not loved; it’s because you are not believing by faith and receiving from Him the love that He is pouring out on you even now.”
“If you feel unloved, it is not because you’re not loved; it’s because you are not believing by faith and receiving from Him the love that He is pouring out on you even now.”
“The person God loves with the tenderness of a Father, the person he wants to touch and to transform with his love, is not the person we’d have liked to be or ought to be. It’s the person we are.”
“Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. What they say, what they do, and the opinions they give are according to the agreements they have in their own minds.”
“Before you ever felt the sting of rejection, God had already gone on record as choosing you.”
“Yes, it is love that will save our world and our civilization, love even for enemies.”
“If we long to be in the world who God is, then, somehow, our compassion has to find its way to vastness.”
“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.”
