May God gently place God's own heart right behind yours, so that the love you give in this work can come through you, but doesn't have to come from you.
Still, I know that if you want to have loving feelings, instead of doom and hatred, you do loving things—care for the lonely and sick, feed the hungry, welcome strangers, treat yourself gently, call an incredibly annoying relative just to say hello.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.
