What does LOVE look like? When we are young and idealistic, we all expect to be loved and to find someone to love someday. We have different experiences on the road to finding that LOVE. How our family loved us or didn't love us colors our expectations. Many confuse the sharing of their body with another as love, but by itself, is shallow and self serving.
I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 13...the LOVE chapter often quoted at weddings. The Bible is actually the greatest love story ever told and it explains what real love is, and how we must learn to "give love away to get love". We are commanded to love others as Christ first loved us and to practice true servanthood for anothers benefit.
Thank You for loving us, the unlovely. Thank You for saving us. May I always have an "attitude of gratitude". It is a first step to knowing the character of God.
