More From David Jeremiah

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.

Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

Unconditional love. that’s what he wants to give her and what he wants from her. people should give without wanting anything in return. all other giving is selfish. but he is being selfish a little, isn’t he, by wanting her to love him in return? he hopes that she loves him in return. is it possible for a person to love without wanting love back? is anything so pure? or is love, by its nature, a reciprocity, like oceans and clouds, an evaporating of seawater and a replenishing of rain?

Yeah, well," i say, "i left abnegation because i wasn't selfless enough, no matter how hard i tried to be." "that's not entirely true." he smiles at me. "that girl who let someone throw knives at her to spare a friend, who hit my dad with a belt to protect me-that selfless girl, that's not you?"... "you've been paying close attention, haven't you?" "i like to observe people/" "maybe you were cut out for candor, four, because you're a terrible liar.

But rhett, you mustn't bring me anything else so expensive. it's awfully kind of you, but i really couldn't accept anything else." "indeed? well, i shall bring you presents so long as it pleases me and so long as i see things that will enhance your charms. i shall bring you dark-green watered silk for a frock to match the bonnet. and i warn you that i am not kind. i am tempting you with bonnets and bangles and leading you into a pit. always remember i never do anything without reason and i never give anything without expecting something in return. i always get paid.

This may sound like heresy, but it is the greatest truth! it is more difficult to let god love us, than to love him! the best way to love him in return is to open our hearts and let him love us. let him draw close to us and feel him close to us. this is really very difficult: letting ourselves be loved by him. and that is perhaps what we need to ask today in the mass: 'lord, i want to love you, but teach me the difficult science, the difficult habit of letting myself be loved by you, to feel you close and feel your tenderness ! may the lord give us this grace.

When you're hurt or angry, let go by tapping into your humbleness. you want people to remember you for your grace.

For years i taught in universities and high schools for classes of 30 or 35 students. now i teach in very large venues with thousands of people in the audience. i used to have notes. now i just let go and let god. i just allow it to come, and i didn't do that before. i never even used the word "god" for twenty or twenty-five years. now it just rolls out of my mouth all the time.

It's important in life to conclude things properly. only then can you let go. otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse.
