Would a harsh word ever fall from lips which now breathed only love? Would the step whose lightest footfall now made her heart leap, ever sound in her ear like a death knell?

About This Quote

In the Bible, the psalmist wrote: "Would a harsh word ever fall from lips which now breathed only love? Would the step whose lightest footfall now made her heart leap, ever sound in her ear like a death knell?" It would be easy to think that such a love as this was an impossible thing for any person to experience. But we see that, despite the fact that it is so rare and so beautiful, it can happen.
