“The love of God is not taught. No one has taught us to enjoy the light or to be attached to life more than anything else. And no one has taught us to love the two people who brought us into the world and educated us. Which is all the more reason to believe that we did not learn to love God as a result of outside instruction. In the very nature of every human being has been sown the seed of the ability to love. You and I ought to welcome this seed, cultivate it carefully, nourish it attentively and foster its growth by going to the school of God's commandments with help of His grace.” PeopleWorldLoveBelieveHumansHas BeensTwoReasonHelpingLightTruthSchoolEnjoyGrowthHuman BeingsAbilityResultsGraceLove YouTaughtOughtSeedsWelcomeEducatedGod LoveInstructionCommandmentsTaught UsAbility To Love Author:Saint Basil
