“What makes the Kingdom come is heartfelt compassion: a way of tenderness that knows no frontiers, no labels, no compartmentalizing, and no sectarian divisions.”

Assured of your salvation by the unique grace of our Lord Jesus Christ” is the heartbeat of the gospel, joyful liberation from fear of the Final Outcome, a summons to self-acceptance, and freedom for a life of compassion toward others.

If asked whether I am finally letting God love me, just as I am, I would answer, ‘No, but I’m trying.

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.

God is enough. That is the root of peace. When we start seeking something besides Him, we lose it.

The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.

Faithfulness requires the courage to risk everything on Jesus, the willingness to keep growing, and the readiness to risk failure throughout our lives.

A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God.

The sorrow of God lies in our fear of Him, our fear of life, and our fear of ourselves. He anguishes over our self-absorption and self-sufficiency… God’s sorrow lies in our refusal to approach Him when we sinned and failed.

For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ.

When absolute control and rigid obedience pose as love within the family and the local faith-community , we produce trained cowards rather than Christian persons.

On the last day, Jesus will look us over not for medals, diplomas, or honors, but for scars.

The deepest desire of our hearts is for union for God. God created us for union with himself. This is the original purpose of our lives.

The secret of the mystery is: God is always greater. No matter how great we think Him to be, His love is always greater.

When our inner child is not nurtured and nourished, our minds gradually close to new ideas, unprofitable commitments and the surprises of the Spirit.

we unwittingly project onto God our own attitudes and feelings toward ourselves… But we cannot assume that He feels about us the way we feel about ourselves — unless we love ourselves compassionately, intensely, and freely.

Anyone we come in contact with, we either offer them life, or we drain them.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

The true spiritual secret is this: what you seek, you already are. True success is discovering your inner divinity~ it’s the ability to love and have compassion, trust your intuition, and awaken to your unlimited creative nature.

The miracle is this – the more you give, the more you have.

I see my parents as tiny children who need love. I have compassion for my parents’ childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

I give a portion of my time to helping others. It is good for my own health.

Tomorrow’s leaders will not lead dictating from the front, nor pushing from the back. They will lead from the centre – from the heart.
