You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.
— Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
 
Every living thing seeks love: man, animals and plants. All people seek God and long for Him, regardless of whether they are believers or unbelievers. Some people call themselves atheists, but they do not know that in their hearts they long after God. For when someone yearns for justice, love and truth, he is really yearning after God. All people long for love that never changes and justice that is always the same. All living things long for God. The only difference is that some oppose Him and others don’t, some yearn after Him consciously while others are not aware that their yearning is really after God.
— Elder Thaddeus of Serbia, Our Thoughts Determine our Lives
  Chapter Eleven: On The Faith, 6. pp 148-9

All that the Father can do, the Son can do, and so can the Holy Spirit. All that the Father knows, the Son knows, and so does the Holy Spirit. But, according to Their infinite love for one another, and according to Their infinite wisdom with regard to the dispensation of man's salvation, They appear in turn to men from the point of view of time. As the Father glorifies the Son, so the Son glorifies the Father, and the Holy Spirit glorifies the Son. 
 — Bishop Nikolai Velimirović, Prologue from Ohrid Sep 24, Homily -on God the Holy Spirit, the Glorifier 

The Forgotten Beauty of Sacrifice

The Prophet Hosea
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
— Hosea 6:9

The Prophet Hosea and his Allegorical Marriage
— But God said to him, "I want you to know the whole story about this girl. I want you to marry her, but she is going to be unfaithful to you; in fact, she will become nothing but a common street prostitute. But I want you to marry her anyway."

God So Loved the World
For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Him. 
— John 3:16-17
