Learning to Love Quotes

“I believe that Jesus would have given His life for just one person. Jesus emptied Himself, He humbled Himself and He so yielded Himself to His Father's love that He had no ambition of His own. He was not looking to build an empire, He did not want praise or adulation or to impress people with who or how many followed Him. He stopped over and over again for just one person, for just one life.”
― Heidi Baker, Learning to Love: Passion, Compassion and the Essence of the Gospel

“But God's love is big enough to touch any life, to make light out of any darkness. Jesus came that we might have life, so that no more would we have to die in depression, anger or pain. He loved people back to life. He would go anywhere, talk to anyone. And wherever He went, He would stop for the one-- the forgotten one, the one who was rejected, outcast, sick, even stone dead. Even a thief who was dying for his crimes on the cross next to Him. In the Kingdom of God's love there is no sinner who cannot come home.”

“For the One Jesus gave His life for me, He took away my pain, He made beat this heart of mine So I could love again. In return I asked Him What I could give away, He showed me things That break His heart, And then I heard Him say. Just stop for the one, Until My kingdom comes, From the smallest seed, Comes a mighty tree. When you just stop for the one. He showed me orphans on the street, Their faces full of fear, Always hungry, always cold, Always death is near. Girls in flimsy dresses, Watching men drive past, Trading on their kisses, Every kiss their last. He said... Just stop for the one, Until My kingdom comes, From the smallest seed, Comes a mighty tree. When you just stop for the one. I saw boys without a purpose Become men before their time. Every day a little worse, Driven into crime. Drugs to ease the sorrow, Never kill the pain, Peace lasts ’til tomorrow, Then it all starts up again. Jesus stopped for children And the thief on Calvary, For the woman at the water well, And then He stopped for me. He said go love another, Until the battle’s done, In this world you will have trouble, But victory shall come. He said... Just stop for the one, Until My kingdom comes, From the smallest seed Comes a mighty tree. Just stop for the one, Until My will is done Here on earth, As you just ... stop ... for ... the ... one. (Claire Vorster, 2012)”
