Words of Wisdom

From The Preacher’s Wife:

“But the miracle is, when we love someone, we are really loving God. Look and wonder at those you love, for they are the face of God.”

  • Nice! What I have to remember is that those who I don’t love so much, well, they’re the face of God too. That’s the hard part!

  • @ MBMQ: That’s very true. I think the first part of the quote could be paraphrased as we can’t truly love God without loving others.

    “Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
    I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and
    each moment then,
    In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my
    own face in the glass;
    I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one
    is signed by God’s name,
    And I leave them where they are, for I know that others
    will punctually come forever and ever.”

    Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself”
