I wish we were un-inhibited to love. I mean to love radically, devotedly, unreservedly. To love with the love bestowed on Jesus by the Father, the love bestowed on us through Jesus, and the love that Jesus has called each of his children to love with.
Sometimes I get a little glimpse of what that would look like. Something deep stirs within me, something stronger than even my own self, and my heart aches with desire to love wholeheartedly. I long to know how to love. I long to know how to cultivate love. I long to pursue love.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
How different would our days be if we were characterized by this kind of love? What a beautiful glimpse of Heaven that would be! Ah, how I long for those little glimpses of Heaven.
