A Love Story

"Years pass and you run into that boy from high school who liked you too much. But things are different now, and you see that what you took for weakness was compassion; and what you took for sternness was strength. And you see that he's been there all along-he's never once left you-and that he loves you dearly, down to your very soul. What does he want? To give you the desires of your heart.

"Because as it turns out the Christian story is unabashedly and unashamedly a love story.

"It's the story of Someone being head over heels in love with us, and the story of us falling in love with him. And the question I hear at Mass every morning is simple in that love: Will you be mine? he asks. By receiving him I answer Yes, and when I look into the window of my soul, God and I are dancing."
- Bo Caldwell, A Change of Heart
