paintings of Jesus Christ

Paintings of Jesus Christ...!!!

These are beautiful,
it may take a few minutes for them
to come up on the screen ,
but it is well worth the wait.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.


Christ laughing! A concept I hadn't seen before.

Love & Magic

Love and magic have a great deal in common.

They enrich the soul,

delight the heart.

And they both take practice.

Tell me who admires you and loves you,

and I will tell you who you are.

If you love something, let it go.


If it comes back it's yours.


If it doesn't, it never really was in the first place.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.'

Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

Love does not consist in gazing at each other,

 but in looking outward together in the same direction.

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful,



but she is beautiful because you love her.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get,

 it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything.

To fear love is to fear life,



and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

We are all born for love.

It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round.

 Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young,


the habituation of the middle-aged,


and the mutual dependence of the old.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly,

 and to love forever is to live forever.

Come live with me,

and be my love,


And we will some new pleasures prove,


Of golden sands,


and crystal brooks,


With silken lines, and silver hooks.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

~The moment eternal - just that and no more -


When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core


While cheeks burn, arms open,


eyes shut, and lips meet!

~A man had given all other bliss,


And all his worldly worth for this,


To waste his whole heart in one kiss


Upon her perfect lips...

~Thought I know he loves me,


Tonight my heart is sad;


His kiss was not so wonderful


As all the dreams I had....

Love is love's reward.

"Kiss me as if you made believe You were not sure this eve,


How my face, your flower,


had pursed It's petals up ..."

ABCD OF LOVE

ABCD of LOVE

LOVE IS

Love is a many splendid thing.

Love lifts us up where we

belong.

         All you need is love!

 

Other men said they have seen

angels,

But I have seen thee

And thou art enough.

  I would fly you to the moon

and back

if you'll be . . .

If you'll be My Baby.

  

I LOVE YOU - those three

words have my life in them.

What lies behind us,

And what lies before us

Are tiny matters compared to

What lies within Us.

I have been astonished that

Men could die Martyrs for their

religion -

I have shudder'd at it.

I shudder no more

I could be martyr'd for my

religion.

Love is my religion

And I could die for that.

I could die for you.

I'd like to run away From you,

But if you didn't come

And find me ...

I would Die.

When you love someone,

all your saved-up wishes start

coming out.

The greatest thing you'll ever

learn

Is to love and be loved in

return.

Soul meets Soul on Lover's

Lips.

I have found men who didn't

know how to kiss.

I've always found time to teach

them.

 
 
 

 Love and kindness are never

wasted.

They always make a difference.

They bless the one who receives

them,

and they bless you,

The Giver.

If you aren't good at loving

yourself,

You will have a difficult time

loving anyone,

Since you'll resent the time and

energy ,

You give another person

That you aren't even giving to

Yourself.

I Love thee, I Love but thee

With a love that shall not die

Till the sun grows cold,

And the stars grow old...

Love is patient, Love is kind.

It does not envy, It does not

boast,  

It is not proud. It is not rude,

It is not self-seeking. 

It is not easily

angered,                    

It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,

but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always

trusts,

always hopes, 

always perseveres.

Love never fails.

I Corinthians 13:4-8

 
 
 

Love, like truth and beauty, is

concrete.

Love is not fundamentally a

sweet feeling;  

Not, at heart, a matter of

sentiment, attachment, or being

"drawn toward."

Love is active, effective,

A matter of making reciprocal

and mutually beneficial relation

with

One's Friends and Enemies.

Love -- is anterior to Life --

Posterior -- to Death --

Initial of Creation, and

The Exponent of Earth --

 

I love you not only for what you

are,

but for what I am when I am

with you.

I love you not only for what you

have made of yourself,

but for what you are making of

me.

I love you for the part of me

that

you bring out.
