...to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he cant accept who God is a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people...That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.

I liked this God very much because you hardly had to talk to it and it never talked back. Blue Like Jazz Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
