so we love to give because You gave so much
we live to love because You first loved us
i love those truths. i'm so thankful that God has shown me His kind of love - unconditional acceptance, embracing desire, unlimited encouragement, and yes, even pointed correction. and His kind of love loves first, unbelievable since i'm so unworthy of His attention. and His standard gives me an example to live, love and give away in my own life. no, not always easy, but it's what i'm called to... to me and then through me. maybe the idea of cupid carrying an arrow isn't just romance. love is meant to hit the heart. and God is the grand initiator. i think it's really the Holy Spirit who carries a quiver full of arrows.
the thought of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross really proves it all. the Bible says, while we were yet sinners, He showed His kind of love... now that's a FIRST. and probably ONLY... yes, i'm thankful. and speechless...
