But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life.
Psalm 42:8 NLT
***
Every breath we draw is a gift of God’s love;
every moment of existence is a grace.
Thomas Merton
***
O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
for you, O God, are my refuge,
the God who shows me unfailing love.
Psalm 59:17 NLT
***
Every ordinary thing in your life is a word of God’s love:
your home, your work, the clothes you wear,
the air you breathe, the food you eat….
the flowers under your feet are the courtesy of God’s heart flung down on You!
All these things say one thing only: “See how I love you.”
Caryll Houselander
***
See how very much our Father loves us,
for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!
1 John 3:1a NLT
***
God’s love for us is not the reason for which we should love him.
God’s love for us is the reason for us to love ourselves.
Simone Weil
***
But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
Psalm 33:18 NLT
***
When I trust deeply that today God is truly with me
and holds me safe in a divine embrace, guiding every one of my steps
I can let go of my anxious need to know how tomorrow will look,
or what will happen next month or next year.
I can be fully where I am and pay attention to
the many signs of God’s love within me and around me.
Henri Nouwen
