Reaching out to others in love (Henri Nouwen)


  When we have found our uniqueness in the love of God and have been able to affirm that indeed we are lovable, since it is God’s love that dwells in us, then we can reach out to others in whom we discover a new and unique manifestation of the same love and enter into an intimate communion with them.

--Henri Nouwen
