Quote by Graham Greene
If I stopped loving Him, I would cease to believe in His love. If I loved God, then I would believe in His love for me. It's not enough to need it. We have to love first, and I don't know how. But I need it, how I need it.
Summary

Conversely, by expressing love towards God, one strengthens the belief in His love for them. It recognizes that simply needing God's love is insufficient; one must actively love in return. The quote also acknowledges the speaker's longing for God's love, underscoring their desire for its presence in their life, even while admitting uncertainty on how to cultivate love.
