We are not good at love! We give pokey love! Our love is like that beautiful rose that looks and smells so divine - but suddenly, when it's least expected, there's that thorn to shatter the sweet illusion. It's not that we mean to (most of the time!) - but we often fail in things we do and say - or don't do and say - to fulfil the love needs of those around us. And we love with caution - because we've been poked by their thorns before. So sad that we're so insecure about something that was meant to be so nurturing and uplifting.
Jesus came and showed us what real love was and could withstand! He took that love to the point of death and beyond! That love is unlike anything we've known. It is not the pokey love we generate. It is love that keeps on giving to the max! And ours can only be that with a beyond natural supply!
