love (41)

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

I don't trust people who don't love themselves and tell me, I love you. There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, "How many good things have you done in your life?" rather he will ask, "How much love did you put into what you did?"

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
