Love other people first, and you will have loved yourself best.

Love might be wounded by lesser things, but in the wounding it strengthens so that in time it has ample power to lovingly tame the lesser things and therefore handily transform the greater things.

If your portfolio is made up of the investments that you have made in the lives of people, you will have amassed a wealth so vast that all the portfolios that will ever float the trading floor on Wall Street would, by comparison, be reckoned as nothing. And if by chance we dared to live by this truth, we would in fact would love like none other.

To love is to risk.  To not love is also to risk.  Yet when it comes to love, the greatest risk is incurred when we give risk that much power.

How could we not be romantic, for the God Who created us has never fallen out of love with us despite all the many ways that we have fallen out of love with Him.

The greatest gains that we will ever experience arise from the greatest sacrifices that we have ever known.

We can say a thousand things and not do a single thing. And if that’s what we’re doing, we’re wasting everything.

Self-care’ always translates to ‘other-care’ unless I’m so selfish that I ‘don’t care’. And if that’s the case, then neither matter.

Love stands even when the desire to love doesn’t.
