Found some awesome quotes about love. Here it goes, from the sermon “Life and Love” by Kris Vallotton.
“Every time someone loves you more than you love you, you will sabotage your relationship with them.”
“You sabotage relationships with people you really value … Everybody whom I wanted to like me, like I had a high value for them, I would be afraid that if they got to know me, they wouldn’t like me, so I would build a case against them before they had a chance to build a case against me, so I could reject them before they had a chance to reject me … The problem is you don’t love yourself.”
“Do you understand that Jesus said, ‘Love your neighbor AS you love yourself’?”
“I can’t love you more than I love me. You say, ‘Well, yes, I can.’ No, you can’t. Jesus said, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ I can’t give you what I don’t have. If I possess it in this temple, it works on me before it ever works on you.”
“People like us that have these struggles, we’re really good givers. But what can’t we do? Receive. Why? Because receiving means that I will have to let you give to someone who doesn’t deserve. And what happens when someone who doesn’t deserve it gets stuff? Then they begin to self destruct, because then you just gave a guilty party something they shouldn’t have.”

A couple months ago, I picked up an issue of Inheritance Magazine at Evergreen Baptist Church. As an artist kind of guy – I picked it up because the cover looked awesome, but I had no idea what this magazine was about.
As soon as I dived into the first article, I fell in love with it!
So what is INHERITANCE MAG? This is straight from their website: INHERITANCE seeks to promote unity among Asian American Christians through written reflection and discussion on issues relevant in our communities and churches. Our hope is that Asian American Christians will be able to find commonality in the struggle for clarity and coherence in our identities, and thus, will take up the responsibilities that come with greater realization of who God created us to be.
The articles definitely spoke to me about what I’m currently going through.
I especially enjoyed the article by Johnson Chui, “Getting to the heart of dating”.
I resonated with the 3 points that God was speaking to him–finding satisfaction in God first, finding joy and contentment in Him and not in people, and not needing to look for that perfect person.
I’ve been reading the article over and over again when I’m feeling down; the article definitely gives me a source of encouragement and points me back in the right direction.
If you haven’t had a chance to pick up an article or check their website out, now’s your chance!
