From Youth Works: WE WERE UNABLE TO LOVE: UNABLE TO LOVE GOD. UNABLE TO LOVE OTHERS. BUT GOD LOVED US ANYWAY. NOT WITH A FLIMSY, ONLY-WHEN-IT’S-CONVENIENT, ONCE-IN-A-WHILE KIND OF LOVE. BUT WITH A DEEP, ALL-OF-THE-TIME, FOR-ALL-OF-TIME KIND OF LOVE. A LOVE THAT TAKES ROOT AND GIVES LIFE. A LOVE THAT FILLS US, CHANGES US, FLOWS FROM US INTO THE WORLD. AND SO, WE ARE ABLE TO LOVE: ABLE TO LOVE GOD. ABLE TO LOVE OTHERS. WE LOVE BECAUSE GOD FIRST LOVED US.
