"Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do."
- David Wilkerson
"Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness to service."
- Jack Hyles
"Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did."
- C.S. Lewis
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”
- Augustine
"Our vision is so limited we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering... The love of God did not protect His own Son... He will not necessarily protect us – not from anything it takes to make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process."
- Elisabeth Elliot
"The world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy."
- Dwight L. Moody
"If we have got the true love of God shed abroad in our hearts, we will show it in our lives.
We will not have to go up and down the earth proclaiming it. We will show it in
everything we say or do."
- Dwight L. Moody
"The world is not a play-ground; it is a school-room. Life is not a holiday, but an education.
And the one eternal lesson for us all is how better we can love."
- Henry Drummond
"In the New Testament, love is more of a verb than a noun. It has more to do with acting than with feeling. The call to love is not so much a call to a certain state of feeling as it is to a quality of action."
- R. C. Sproul
"You can always give without loving, but you can never love without giving."
- Amy Carmichael
"9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
- The Lord Jesus Christ, John 15.
