Everything Comes Down To Love

Everything in the end, always, every time, comes down to love.
Our lives are defined by love.
After all, the only reason that we have a definition as a child of the King is because He loves.
The only reason we can love is because He loves.
But there is much more to love than first meets the eye.
Love is a choice.
Love, true love, is sacrificial.
Love is pure.
Love is new.
And because love is new, Love is something that you can never do the same way twice.
To love at all is to be vulnerable.
To love at all is to admit that we will fail, that we will fall short, and that we will love the wrong things from time to time.
But to love well, we must practice loving, and that means that sometimes we will inevitably fail.
But when we fail, if we are to love as God intended, we must learn from our mistakes.
We must get back up, dust ourselves off, and jump right back into the fight.
Cause loving the way God intended never stops.
It is done moment by moment.
We always choose to love something with every action we make.
Basically, we love self or another by every action we make.
Everything hinges on love.
Everything turns on love.
People are won over by love, not words.
Love talked about…well, that means nothing.
But love demonstrated, oh, that is everything.
The perfect picture of Love demonstrated is Jesus carrying a cross down a street with men that He created hurling insults at Him. It is watching Him take the abuse, seeing the soldiers drive the nails and hang Him on that bloody tree that is the ultimate demonstration of love.
He didn’t have to.
He got to…all because of love.
And we are to love like this? Really?
God really calls us to love like Jesus?
Yes, it says He calls us to love like this.
So why don’t we do it?
Why are we waiting?
