Love of God Quotes

These “Love of God Quotes” can help strengthen your faith in God’s great love for you. He loves you and there is no other who can ever love you as God loves you.

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.” – Luke 10:27, WEB-BE

To love God above all does not mean that we love our neighbors less. When we put God above all else, we are able to love our neighbors more. We no longer love them for what they can give to us or for what they can do. We no longer love them because of our own selfish interests, but because of the love we have received from God. Through God, our love is purified; it becomes a holy and healing love. It is not a love that aims merely to please others. It is not a love concerned with temporary comfort or pleasures. But it is a love that desires what is truly good for all. It is a love that is tender, and it is a love that is courageous and strong! It does not depend on men’s praise or approval. It does not fade with difficulties or trials. Rather, it is a love that endures, a love that gives true joy, a love that saves.

O night more lovely than the dawn!

the Lover with his beloved,

leaving my cares
forgotten among the lilies.”

It is so sweet that it surpasses every fragrance and cannot be compared with the delights of this world.” – Revelations to St. Bridget

“God’s passionate love for his people—for humanity—is at the same time a forgiving love. It is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice. Here Christians can see a dim prefigurement of the mystery of the Cross: so great is God’s love for man that by becoming man he follows him even into death, and so reconciles justice and love.” – Deus Caritas Est-Encyclical Letter, Benedict XVI

“It is not because I have been preserved from mortal sin that I lift up my heart to God in trust and love. I feel that even had I on my conscience every crime one could commit, I should lose nothing of my confidence: my heart broken with sorrow, I would throw myself into the Arms of my Saviour. I know that He loves the Prodigal Son, I have heard His words to St. Mary Magdalen, to the woman taken in adultery, and to the woman of Samaria. No one could frighten me, for I know what to believe concerning His Mercy and His Love. And I know that all that multitude of sins would disappear in an instant, even as a drop of water cast into a flaming furnace.” – St. Therese of Lisieux

“Why did you suffer for me, dear Jesus? For love! The nails…the crown…the cross…all for the love of me! For You I sacrifice everything willingly. I offer You my body with all of its weakness, and my soul with all its love.” – St. Gemma Galgani
