1 " Which is a greater sin in the eyes of God: to let a child suffer and die to preserve your reputation, or to become friends with your enemy? "
― Jeremy Courtney , Preemptive Love: Pursuing Peace One Heart at a Time
2 " Love first; ask questions later. "
3 " Courage, love, faith . . . these areall muscles that grow in strength each time we push them to their limits. "
4 " I don’t lean left or right. I lean in. I lean forward, because that’s where love lives. "
5 " Because even though fear, hatred, and violence conspire to unmake the world, preemptive love unmakes violence. "
6 " The image of Kurdish blood pumping through the heart of a little Arab boy like Ahmed was not lost on anyone. "
7 " And in the end, it is not our love that overcomes hate at all. It is God’s. And preemptive love is not just something God does as a one-off transaction. Preemptive love is who God is, constantly overcoming our hateful rebellion and our lesser passions that belie the self-interest we suppose ourselves to be pursuing. "
