Every year, I make new year's resolutions. Usually it is some commitment or task that I want to accomplish. For example, last year one of my resolutions was to get more involved in spiritual leadership.
This year my new year's resolution is a little different. Instead of committing to something that I am going to do, my resolution is a request. My new year's request is that I experience the fullnest of love-- God's love. My request is that God would show me and teach me true love. (Please do this in a gentle and gracious way.)
My ideas and concepts of love have been flawed and tainted by society and my own experiences. Now I am open to learning the selfless, sacrificing, yet joyous and rewarding love of God.
God, who are you?
I am love. (1Jn. 4:7)
What does this mean? Can love be defined? Can we/I ever really know you? We have so many words to describe what love is like, but there is no real synonym for love itself. We can describe the effects of love, how it feels or how it makes others feel. We can even say what love does or doesn't do, but what is it?
I look forward to getting to know you. I look forward to experiencing Your Love.
