God's love for us is everlasting. That means that God's love for us
existed before we were born and will exist after we have died. It is an
eternal love in which we are embraced. Living a spiritual life calls us
to claim that eternal love for ourselves so that we can live our
temporal loves - for parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, friends,
spouses, and all people who become part of our lives - as reflections
or refractions of God's eternal love. No fathers or mothers can love
their children perfectly. No husbands or wives can love each other with
unlimited love. There is no human love that is not broken somewhere.
When our broken love is the only love we can have, we are easily thrown
into despair, but when we can live our broken love as a partial
reflection of God's perfect, unconditional love, we can forgive one
another our limitations and enjoy together the love we have to offer. - Henri Nouwen
