Love is the house of God and you are living in that house.
Whether you love God or you love a human being, if you love enough you will come into the presence of Love itself.
What a relief to be empty! Then God can live your life.
To Love is to reach God.
The world is like a courtroom, with God as our judge. We are called upon to fulfill our covenant with God, who asked, "Am I not your Lord?" To which we answered, "Yea." And since here on earth we are on trial, our every word and action form the witness to and the evidence of that agreement.
Lo, I am with you always means when you look for God, God is in the look of your eyes, in the thought of looking, nearer to you than your self, or things that have happened to you. There's no need to go outside.
The rewards of life and devotion to God are love and inner rapture, and the capacity to receive the light of God.
Jesus was lost in his love for God.
I looked for God. I went to a temple and I didn't find him there. Then I went to a church and I didn't find him there. The I went to a mosque and I didn't find him there. Then finally I looked in my heart and there he was.
If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it. Those who are not in love with God will see only their own faces in it.
When LOVE for GOD has been doubled in your HEART, there is no doubt that GOD has love for YOU.
When I am with you, we stay up all night.When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.Praise God for those two insomnias!And the difference between them.
The way you make love is the wayGod will be with you.
The way you make love is the way God will be with you.
