"What we love we shall grow to resemble." - Bernard of Clairvaux
I think that these words speak so truthfully into our lives. Of course we can read into this quote a positive tone - if we love good things, then this will be beneficial for us and others. However, if we love things of this world, then we will become like those things too. I guess the choice lies with each one of us.
Matthew 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Blushing in blood
"To shame our sins He blushed in blood;
He closed His eyes to show us God;
Let all the world fall down and know
That none but God such love can show." - Bernard of Clairvaux
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again." - John 3:16-17
May God touch your heart with joy, peace and love today.
