Indeed, a quick glance around this broken world makes it painfully obvious that we don't need more arguments on behalf of God; we need more people who live as if they are in covenant with Unconditional Love, which is our best definition of God. (p. 21)

About This Quote

The author of this quote is a man named Alan Cohen. He wrote a book called, “The Way of the Shepherd,” in which he describes the relationship between a shepherd and his flock. The way of the shepherd is one of mutual respect and love for each other because both have a responsibility to care for the other. In the shepherd’s eyes, sheep are not things that need to be kept safe from predators or from harm.

Instead, they are living creatures that need to be cared for as best as possible. This is what it means to live as if you are in covenant with unconditional love. This does not mean that you will never face problems or difficulties in life, but it does mean that you will accept those things as a part of life and seek to protect your flock from harm.

Yes, we will encounter difficulties and problems, but we will always work toward building a life filled with love and respect for each other.
