Love is "warm tenderness of heart."
- St. Theophan the Recluse

"Ask to be the servant of the Lord, a vehicle of divine love, a channel of God's will. Ask for direction and divine assistance and surrender all personal will through devotion. Dedicate one's life to the service of God. Choose love and peace above all other options. Commit to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life in its expression and surrender all judgment to God."
- David R. Hawkins
