Grace is the offer of God's ceaseless presence and irrational love that cannot be stopped.
John OrtbergAcceptance is an act of the heart. To accept someone is to affirm to them that you think it's a very good thing they are alive.
John OrtbergThere is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.
