Love - what is it? God is love. Think about God - He does what is best for us . . . even if it's hard, or uncomfortable. Love reaches out to the poor, the sick, the sinners. Love turns over tables in the temple & raises men from the dead. Love calls out hypocrisy, corrects prideful thinking, and forgives, always forgives.
John tells us there is no fear in love. Love requires trust. We don't need to fear the love of God, because we can trust that God's love will always seek our best. It will always push us toward righteousness, joy, and peace.
We watched the Passion of Christ on Wednesday night. What really stuck with me this time was Jesus asking God to forgive the very people who were nailing Him to a cross. That is love. And that is the same love we are to have for others.
