“Manliness has been defined as assertion of the self. Womanliness has been defined as the nurturing of selves other than our own - even if we quite lose our own in the process. (Women are supposed to find in this loss their true fulfillment.) But every individual person is born both to assert herself or himself and to act out a sympathy for others trying to find themselves - in Christian terms, meant to love one's self as one loves others ... Jesus never taught that we should split up that commandment - assigning 'love yourself' to men, 'love others' to women. But society has tried to.” IfsMenShouldTryingPersonsHas BeensSelfChristianJesusIndividualProcessTermBornLosesLossLove YouTaughtDefinedFulfillmentLove YourselfSplitsCommandmentsOne LoveNurturingAssertionManlinessHis Loss Book:We Are All Part of One Another: A Barbara Deming Reader Source: We Are All Part of One Another: A Barbara Deming Reader
“The term revolution means: a sudden, radical, and complete change from the way things are normally done. I love that definition because I really feel that in order for us to start walking in the kind of love that Christ commanded us to - the "love your neighbor as yourself" kind - it's going to take a radical change in our current behavior. The church has become passive and selfish and it's going to take a revolution to get us back to the place where we are not just talking the talk, but walking in a love that shows the world Christ's love.” WorldWayFeelsKindMeanDoneShowsOrderTermChristChurchTalkingLove YouRevolutionWalkingBehaviorDefinitionsCurrentsNeighborSelfishRadicalPassiveKinds Of LoveRadical ChangeLove Your NeighborLove Your Neighbor As Yourself Author:Joyce Meyer
“When you become an adult you just make that transition and you're right... it's fun and exciting to be an adult and exciting to have independence, but once you're out from under the cover of your family's protection and love, you sort of have to take a step back and come to terms with the fact that you won't really ever have that again in the same way.

“I guess the greatest cliché we've ever heard, but the most important words spoken, is, love, you know, love your neighbor and, as you would yourself.

“To some, the image of a pale body glimmering on a dark night whispers of defeat. What good is a God who does not control his Son's suffering? But another sound can be heard: the shout of a God crying out to human beings, "I LOVE YOU." Love was compressed for all history in that lonely figure on the cross, who said that he could call down angels at any moment on a rescue mission, but chose not to - because of us. At Calvary, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice. Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.” HumansDoeSaidMomentsBodyPainNightSufferingSoundTermJusticeDarkHuman BeingsHeardLove YouCryFiguresSonFitAngelCrossesLonelyDefeatMissionsAcceptedDiscussionRescuePaleSchemesPain And SufferingDark NightCalvaryUnbreakable Author:Philip Yancey

“I love you too much to lie to you, Lisey. I love you with all that passes for my heart. I suspect that kind of all-out love becomes a burden to a woman in time, but it's the only kind I have to give. I think we're going to be quite a wealthy couple in terms of money, but I'll almost certainly be an emotional pauper all my life. I've got the money coming, but as for the rest I've got just enough for you, and I won't ever dirty or dilute it with lies.
