Here are ten famous people from different backgrounds who have spoken about God’s love and what they said:
- Mother Teresa: “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
- Martin Luther King Jr.: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
- Pope Francis: “God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.”
- Mahatma Gandhi: “The simplest definition of truth is that God is love. Truth is love. And he who seeks to be a true follower of the one God, he cannot be a party to falsehood.”
- C.S. Lewis: “God’s love is like a river, constantly flowing, never-ending, and always providing for those who seek it.”
- Maya Angelou: “God’s love is like a warm blanket on a cold winter’s night – comforting, secure, and always there when we need it.”
- Billy Graham: “God’s love is not restricted to any one race or culture. It is available to all who seek it with an open heart.”
- Nelson Mandela: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
- Saint Augustine: “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.”
- Joel Osteen: “God’s love is not based on your performance. It’s based on who He is. You can never fall too far from grace, because God’s love is always reaching out to you.”
