Love is the only gold. 
                                                                ~ Lord Alfred Tennyson
 

 

The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
                            ~ Charles Dickens

 
 
 
If we seek God for our own good and profit,
we are not seeking God.
                                                                ~ Johannes Eckhart

What is love? ...
"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something,
but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful."

Shanghai-based artist Yu Jiade's interpretation of Jesus as The Good Shepherd

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/china.50/dispatches/09.20.spirituality/

 
14I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,
15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father.
                                                                                    John 10:11-18
