Love is a wonderful thing.
We live for it and die for it.
We write about it and read about it.
But can I break it down.
We want to love like Jesus.
Live like Jesus and be like him.
We think love is easy.
Butterflies in our stomachs.
But to love takes heart.
Love is most difficult thing to do.
When our friends fall we laugh.
When our smartphone falls we cry.
When it goes missing, heart attack.
We love people who love us.
We don't love strangers.
We don't love our enemies
But they teach us our weaknesses.
So to put this in perspective.
What if I whipped you to the bone?
Mocked and kicked you
Put a crown of thorns on your head.
Then nail you to a cross
Hands and feet.
Let you hang dry.
And when you ask for something to drink,
I will give you a bitter cup.
And just to see if you are dead
I will stab you in the side.
Pilate washed his hands.
The people set barrabas free.
Just think about it.
We read about it.
The one who came to save everyone
Is the one who had to die for everyone.
Is this the level of your love.
How the father looked at the son.
He said take not this cup from me.
Who was he thinking about?
How can a God all powerful
Do nothing?
The creation now judging the creator
How the tables have turned.
What kind of humility is this?
What kind of love is this
That shakes me to my core?
Yet he forgives
And he never forsake.
Love is not for the weak.
You can be heartless and kill a man.
Pull the trigger bang!
You don't kill someone because you hate them.
You kill someone because you don't want to love them.
How can I love someone that hurt me?
On what level do you love?
