Rick Warren Quote

The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It is focused attention. Love concentrates so intently on another that you forget yourself at that moment. Attention says, I value you enough to give you my most precious asset — my time. Whenever you give your time, you are making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of love. Jesus modeled this: Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave Himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins (Ephesians 5:2, LB).
