The Power of Love...

There are so many ways we talk of love today. Love is easly mistaken for an attraction or sexual feelings, but love in its purest form must not take on an immoral definition.
One of my favorite verses is Ephesian 5:2 which says, "...and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Wow! That is a powerful verse and one that takes a life time to understand and/or live out.
At my wonderful age of (shh) fifty...I realize loving the best way is just to love. Love your family and friends unconditionally. Love the unlovly when they're at their worst. You see loving when everything is great is quite easy.
The God-man Christ Jesus loved us as He walked amongst us and saw all our unlovable ways. He loved us so much he went all the way to Calvry's cross. He really sees us as we are...yet He loves us where we are. That's what the Lord wants us to do...live a life of love just like Jesus did. He changed the world...you can change your corner of it too.
