There seems to be a C.S. Lewis quote for every part of life, I bet he even has one for biscuits. Since, all you need is love, I looked up his quotes on love:
- "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7-8
- "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." John 4:9-12
"To love at all is to be vulnerable." The Four Loves
"Courage, dear heart." The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
I frequently turn to my favorite author for solace, advice, and guidance. When I wish that I could find a door to Naria. They might not come with a faun or a light post in the woods, but sometimes words work magic of their own.
I have been reading The Shack by Paul Young while I am sitting in the hospital room with my mom, I know I'm late on the up take. Here are some quotes that have stuck out to me about love from this book:
"You were created to be loved! If pain is left unresolved, it will keep you in this spot and you will forget what you were created for!"
"Even if you can't see it, you ARE in the center of our love and purpose. And out of all the galaxy, how beautiful it is, it's nothing compared to how we see you.
I have seen my mom need so much help during this time of recovery. It has only reminded to receive God's help. I don't need to let pain overcome my life. Let's remember that we are created for a purpose to love, and be loved. God is LOVE. Doesn't the thought of this just butter your biscuit!
