Martin Luther King Jr. quote #139 from A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King

Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says Love your enemies. It is this that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them and they cant stand it too long. Oh they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings and sometimes theyll hate you a little more at that transition period but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. Thats love you see. It is redemptive and this is why Jesus says love. Theres something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. from Loving Your Enemies

Vera Nazarian quote #127 from Cobweb Forest

Know child that the One GodHe is so vast that He cannot be moved else the Universe falls. Nor can He answer for the very act of opening His Mouth is Movement indeed the greatest Act of all for it is the Word. And this is precisely why He has made an infinity of lesser gods creating them in His own image so that we can do the lesser things on His behalf. We are His hands and arms and feet and mouths. We are His answers to your prayers enacted along the great Framework of Being.

Paul E. Miller quote #41 from A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World

God is a person and his universe reflects his personhood. The closer something is to the character of God the more it reflects him and the less it can be measured. Things such as integrity beauty hope and love are all in the same category as prayer. You can tell their presence and even describe them but you cant define them simply because they are too close to Gods image.

Wendell Berry quote #290 from The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays

It is impossible to see how good work might be accomplished by people who think that our life in this world either signifies nothing or has only a negative significance.If on the other hand we believe that we are living souls Gods dust and Gods breath acting our parts among other creatures all made of the same dust and breath as ourselves and if we understand that we are free within the obvious limits of moral human life to do evil or good to ourselves and to the other creatures - then all our acts have a supreme significance. If it is true that we are living souls and morally free then all of us are artists. All of us are makers within mortal terms and limits of our lives of one anothers lives of things we need and use...If we think of ourselves as living souls immortal creatures living in the midst of a Creation that is mostly mysterious and if we see that everything we make or do cannot help but have an everlasting significance for ourselves for others and for the world then we see why some religious teachers have understood work as a form of prayer...Work connects us both to Creation and to eternity. pg. 316 Christianity and the Survival of Creation
