We use love as a conjunction instead of it being a verb implying action. It's no good just gazing out into open space hoping to see the Lord; instead we have to look closely at our neighbour, someone whom God has willed into existence, someone whom God has died for. Everyone we meet has a aright to exist, because he has value in himself, and we are not used to this. The acceptance of otherness is a danger to us, it threatens us. To recognise the other's right to be himself might mean recognising his right to kill me. But if we set a limit to this right to exist, it's no right at all. Love is difficult. Christ was crucified because he taught a kind of love which is a terror for men, a love which demands total surrender: it spells death.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Anthony Bloom" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/anthony-bloom/so-often-when-we-say-i-love-you-we-say-it-with-a-huge-i-and-a-small/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8a8/anthony-bloom-27481_love_so-often-when-we-say-i-love-you-we-say-i_606191.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8a8/anthony-bloom-27481_love_so-often-when-we-say-i-love-you-we-say-i_606191.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8a8/anthony-bloom-27481_love_so-often-when-we-say-i-love-you-we-say-i_606191.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“So often when we say 'I love you' we say it with a huge 'I' and a small 'you'.
