Peter Kreeft Quotes

Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.

We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.

The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not.

The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.

The love of God is not created- it is His nature.

Only God knows how much I love you.

God's love is as objective as light. Because the sun in a sense is light, or the source of light rather than being lit, it really gives its light to the earth. And because the earth really receives light from the sun, it is really transformed every morning from darkness to light. Just as objectively, because God is love, God really gives love to us. And because we receive real life-changing love from God, we are really transformed from darkness to light.

You are loved. You are dear to your heavenly parents. The infinite and eternal Creator of light and life knows you! He is mindful of you. Yes, God loves you this very day and alwaysHe knows everything about you. He sees you clearly—He knows you as you really are. And He loves you—today and always!He loves you not only for who you are this very day but also for the person of glory and light you have the potential and the desire to become

God loves you not because you are worthy, but because He is God and you are a fixture in His mind.

The only ground of God's love is his love.

God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now... and He will love you forever.

Whenever we cannot love in the old, human way . . . God can give us the perfect way.

"God is love". His is not a sentimental, emotional kind of love but the love of the Father who is the origin of all life, the love of the Son who dies on the Cross and is raised, the love of the Spirit who renews human beings and the world. Thinking that God is love does us so much good, because it teaches us to love, to give ourselves to others as Jesus gave himself to us and walks with us. Jesus walks beside us on the road through life.

This is the mission of every Christian: lumina pandit - to spread the light and to tell the world of God's love.

I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything. And why should I pretend to want anything else?

Jesus did not give the parables to teach us how to live. He gave them, I believe, to correct our notions about who God is and who God loves.

Think not thy love to God merits God's love to thee; His acceptance of thy duty crowns His own gifts in thee; man's love to God is nothing but a faint reflection of God's love to man.

Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.

My calling is to preach the love of God and the forgiveness of God and the fact that he does forgive us.

There is nothing you need to do to make yourself more acceptable to God. You don't have to work harder, nor do you need to change the kind of work you do. You don't have to give more money to charitable organizations. The reality is, God doesn't want you to give anyone anything if you only do it to impress God! God does not love you or find you acceptable because of anything that you do. God loves you and accepts you because you are a part of God.

God cannot be less than Himself. And God is good. And active. And faithful. And He cares.

Lord, make my life A window for Your light To shine through And a mirror to reflect Your love To all I meet. Amen.

... our little things are all big to God's love; our big things are all small to His power.

Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes.

God loves us deeply, perfectly, and everlastlingly.
