“. . . it's not just the people we love, but the people we let love us back who show us how high we can really soar.”

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

“If we act the truth the people who really love us are sure to come back to us in the long run”

“I think we deserve people who really, really love us.”

“It is very difficult to love people who are good to us: it is easier to imagine we are loving people we can condescend to.”

“Often times we reach out to people who would rather not be reached. We love people who reject our love and would just as soon spit in our face, but Jesus asks us to go on loving--go on reaching. It's easy to love someone when they love us, but so much harder to love when we are treated poorly by that person.”
