Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.

To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
