Love comes into the love-filled life.

You can fly, if you're not afraid to fall.

Love is active, not passive. Rather than find love, we need to learn to love as God does. In doing so, our capacity to love will increase.

The windows of heaven wait to pour out blessings. They are constrained only by our ability to receive. And our ability to receive is determined by our capacity to give.

Regardless of how I implement pure love in my life, I have to allow others the autonomy to choose their own way to live.

The very act of being in awe of our loved one engenders the feelings that will ultimately nurture our love for them.

In both an eternal sense, as well as in natural outcome, we obtain the consequences of every act. For good or bad, we each shape our own world.

Love gives. It doesn't take. It cannot be demanded. In giving, love is magnified, not diminished.

Our character grows as we successfully surmount conflicts and difficulties. To bypass these growing experiences would be to forgo growth.

Trust is vital to love. When two individuals build mutual faith in each other, they become emotionally free to give and receive nurture. In mature love, individuals don't own each other. They each give to the other an offering of all their love.

Love is the greatest truth. No other act on earth can more honestly confirm a person's value.

Miracles occur when both necessity and faith are present. When miracles don't occur, it is because people demand them for proof of divine intervention.

We can all benefit from each other. Accepting and loving others only broadens our world.

Instead of praying for the love of our life to show up, we should pray to show up with a life full of love.

It's all about loving others. Start with your own circle of relationships and value your precious connections. Tell them you love them.
