“Early on, you told me that God loves me unconditionally. How could that be, after all of my insane behavior, all of my mistakes? You then told me that forgiveness was the key; that my job now was to forgive others, as I’ve been forgiven.”

Someone once asked, “What is love?” “Be lost in me,” I said. “You’ll know love when that happens.” Love has no calculating in it. That’s why it’s said to be a quality of God and not of human beings. “God loves you” is the only possible sentence.

When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side, because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight has no favorites, His love cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one. If a man’s self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred—like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope.

Meditation for the Day “I will pray daily for faith, for it is God's gift. On faith alone depends the answer to my prayers, because it is a necessary weapon to possess for overcoming of all adverse conditions, and the accomplishment of all good in my life. Therefore, today, I will work at strengthening my faith. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may so think and live as to feed my faith in God. I pray that my faith may grow because with faith God's power becomes available to me.”
