“True love is willing to warn, reprove, confront or admonish when necessary.”
― John Ortberg, Love Beyond Reason

“There is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.”
― John Ortberg, Love Beyond Reason

“I need to worship because without it I can forget that I have a Big God beside me and live in fear. I need to worship because without it I can forget his calling and begin to live in a spirit of self-preoccupation. I need to worship because without it I lose a sense of wonder and gratitude and plod through life with blinders on. I need worship because my natural tendency is toward self-reliance and stubborn independence.”
― John Ortberg

“If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.”
― John Ortberg, Love Beyond Reason
