 Four of the Ten Commandments deal with our relationship to God while the other six deal with our relationships with people. But all ten are about relationships. Author: Rick Warren |
| When life on earth is ending, people don't surround themselves with objects. What we want around us is people - people we love and have relationships with. Author: Rick Warren |
| Love is commitment; love is a relationship that never gives up. Author: Jerry Falwell |
| Do we approach God from a beggar's perspective or as His cherished child? If we have any difficulty seeing Him as our loving Father, we need to ask Him to help us develop a healthy Father/child relationship. Author: David Jeremiah |
| Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God. Author: David Jeremiah |

| If you can disappoint yourself as much as you love yourself and you still manage to disappoint yourself then why are you shocked when other people that you love disappoint you. Author: T.D. Jakes |
| Isn't it funny how God will let you be at the right place at the right time with the right people to get what you want from the Lord. Author: T.D. Jakes |
| Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position they're in--you want somebody who wants you for you. In case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. I want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. I want somebody that loves me. God wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing--love him. Author: T.D. Jakes |
| If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in. Author: Frederick Buechner |
| If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget me, part of who I am will be gone. Author: Frederick Buechner |
| Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
