What do I know of love?
It’s a word that carries more weight than we give it credit. We use it in abundance when speaking about frivolous things and we use it sparingly in regards to personal relationships, and even less do we actually verbalize it towards one another. We fear the admission of love opens the door to vulnerability, which in turn could lead to the revelation of our innermost fears and weaknesses. And for whatever reason we've told ourselves, we’ve felt they are an easier burden to bear on our own, or at the very least, less humiliating if we’re the only ones who know about them.
But the truth of the matter is that love is spelled out pretty clearly in the bible in words and in action.
"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great LOVE with which he loved us, EVEN when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved-..." Ephesians 2:4-5 (emphasis mine)
He has shown great love, he is our great love, and at the very least, this much I do know.
