Love Is The Root Of All Joy

Love Is The Root Of All Joy And Sorrow.

If The Only Prayer You Ever Say In Your Entire Life Is Thank You, It Will Be Enough.

God Is Like A Person Who Clears His Throat While Hiding And So Gives Himself Away. God Lies In Wait For Us With Nothing So Much As Love.

If I Had A Friend And Loved Him Because Of The Benefits Which This Brought Me And Because Of Getting My Own Way, Then It Would Not Be My Friend That I Loved But Myself. I Should Love My Friend On Account Of His Own Goodness And Virtues And Account Of All That He Is In Himself. Only If I Love My Friend In This Way Do I Love Him Properly.

God Must Act And Pour Himself Into You The Moment He Finds You Ready. Don't Imagine That God Can Be Compared To An Earthly Carpenter, Who Acts Or Doesn't Act, As He Wishes; Who Can Will To Do Something Or Leave It Undone, According To His Pleasure. It Is Not That Way With God: Where And When God Finds You Ready, He Must Act And Overflow Into You, Just As When The Air Is Clear And Pure, The Sun Must Overflow Into It And Cannot Refrain From Doing That.
