About This Quote
The greatest blessing that we can receive is that of Christ’s love. If we study this love carefully, it is also the most powerful of all powers. When we have this power in our lives, it changes everything. Our lives become filled with a joy and happiness that cannot be found anywhere else.
It is a joy that feels good all over our bodies and in every inch of our being. It is a joy that in a way that no other love can provide or give us. This joy makes us feel so much better when we look at the world around us.
It helps us to forgive people quickly when they have wronged us. It helps us to understand the pain of others when they tell us about their problems.
