“The kingdom of God is for the broken hearted.”

I don’t think anyone can grow unless he’s loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.

It’s a mistake to think that we have to be lovely to be loved by human beings or by God.

Peace means far more than the opposite of war.

Everyone longs to be loved. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.

There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.

I hope you’re proud of yourself for the times you’ve said “yes,” when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.

The connections we make in the course of a life, maybe that’s what heaven is.

Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.

Life is for service.

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

Love begins with listening.

The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.

All I know to do is to light the candle that has been given to me.

Try your best to make goodness attractive. That’s one of the toughest assignments you’ll ever be given.

The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, just one kind word to another person.

But I didn’t understand then. That I could hurt somebody so badly she would never recover. That a person can, just by living, damage another human being beyond repair.

We all end up loving the ones who don’t love us back. 

It breaks my heart to see people with such great potential to love, give up on love.

You can’t build a strong connection to the one who is disconnect from himself.

If my eyes could show my soul,everyone would cry when they saw me smile.

We were two hungry hearts broken by past love and brought together for one reason or another. But my heart was hungrier than yours and in the end you left me starving.

I offer no explanations on how i choose to repair what you broke.

There is no love deeper than a broken soul madly in love.
