"God as InterRelationship — okay, that's a start. But I think the Christian affirmation is that God includes but is also more than the InterRelationship of all things—how does God-as-Creator play in with a conception of God as the-sum-of-all-InterRelationship-that-is? From a practical standpoint, though, it seems you could do a lot worse than "God is love", so loving is participation in God." — Feb 15, 2014 06:53PM

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.”
