• * When you know how much God is in love with you, then you can only live your life radiating that love." -St. Teresa of Calcutta
• But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many thing. Vincent Van Gogh.
• "For most of my life I have struggled to find God, to know God, to love God. I have tried hard to follow the guidelines of the spiritual life—pray always, work for others, read the Scriptures—and to avoid the many temptations to dissipate myself. I have failed many times but always tried again, even when I was close to despair.

Now I wonder whether I have sufficiently realized that during all this time God has been trying to find me, to know me, and to love me. The question is not “How am I to find God?” but “How am I to let myself be found by him?” The question is not “How am I to know God?” but “How am I to let myself be known by God?” And, finally, the question is not “How am I to love God?” but “How am I to let myself be loved by God?” God is looking into the distance for me, trying to find me, and longing to bring me home."

• God loves us recklessly.
• "'You're a happy person.' I certainly AM a happy person. How could one know God and -not- be joyous?" Peace Pilgrim
• It's difficult to remain unattached if you're not attached to God.
• Being the person God made you cannot separate you from God's love.
• The Lord is close to the broken-hearted.
• When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the Divine into daily life.

“act as if everything depended on you; trust as if everything depended on God."
