Her Name in the Sky

by Kelly Quindlen

We don't know why, we don’t know how, but our hearts and souls are drawn to others. We weren’t made to be alone. We were made to love. And when we love, we automatically know God without even trying to, because God is love. If we love as he made us to love—if we love with our hearts instead of our criteria—then we simply are love.”

Your heart will never ask your permission to love. It’s going to love whomever it was made to love, and the best thing you can do is follow it.”

“It’s hard to love someone when loving them makes you feel ashamed of yourself.”
