A gift is freely given, and expects no return, Its reason is love.  What is first given is love; that is the first gift.  The Holy Ghost come forth as the substance of love, and Gift is His proper name. --Thomas Aquinas

                                                                       

Could we with ink the oceans fill and were the skies of parchment made and every stalk on earth quill and every man a scribe by trade, to write the love of God above would drain the oceans dry, nor could that scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky. --Scribbled on an asylum wall

If we work upon marble, it will perish.  If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust.  But, if we work upon men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with the just fear of God, with love of their fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity. --Daniel
                                 


To love someone means to see him as God intended him. --Feodor Dostoevski

                                                             
You will find as you look back on you life that the moments that stand out above everything else are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. --Henry Drummond

[airIam2worship]

Instead of allowing yourself to be so unhappy, just let your love grow as God wants it to grow; seek goodness in others, love more persons more; love them more impersonally, more unselfishly, without thought of return.  The return, never fear, will take care of itself. -Drummond
 
Love is the purification of the heart from self.  It strengthens and ennobles the character, gives a higher motive and worthier aim to every action of life, and makes both man and woman courageous.  The power to love truly and devotedly is the highest gift with which a human being can be endowed. -Endsor
 
It is not a question of how much we know, how clever we are, nor even how good; it all depends upon the heart's love.  External actions are the results of love, the fruit it bears; but the source, the root, is in the deep of the heart. -Fenelon
 
If you would be loved, love and be lovable. -Franklin

The beloved of the Almighty are the rich who have the humility of the poor, and the poor who have the magnanimity of the rich. --Saadia Ben Joseph
                                                     

If the tender, profound, and sympathizing love, practiced and recommended by Jesus, were paramount in every heart, the loftiest and most glorious idea of human society would be realized, and little be wanting to make this world a kingdom of heaven. --Friedrick Wilhelm Krummacher
                                                     


When any church will inscribe over its altars, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement for the substance of both law and gospel, "Thou shalt love the Lord the God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," and "... thy neighbor as thyself," that church will I join with all my heart and soul. --Abraham Lincoln
                                                     


Nor father or mother has loved you as God has, for it was that you might be happy when He gave His only Son.  When He bowed His head in the death hour, love solemnized its triumph; the sacrifice there was completed. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
