Me: My land, that is a lot of peanuts!

Prodigal: I love peanuts!

This is from H.W. Smith

If ever human loves was tender, and self-sacrificing, and devoted; if ever it could bear and forbear; if ever it could suffer gladly of its loved ones; if ever it was willing to pour itself out in a lavish abandonment for the comfort or pleasure of its objects; the infinitely more is Divine love tender, and self-sacrificing, and devoted, and glad to bear and forbear, and to suffer, and to the tenderest love you know of , the deepest you have ever felt, and the strongest that has ever been poured out upon you, and heap upon it all the love of all the loving human hearts in the world, and then multiply it by infinity, and you will being, perhaps, to have some faint glimpse of what the love of God is.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5 (KJV)
