The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself (Galatians 5:14).

There’s that Love thing again.  

Real, honest love is completely unselfish and comes with no strings attached.  It wants what is best for the beloved, regardless of the cost to the one who loves. It “keeps no record of wrongs,” and it does not stop loving just because it has been hurt or disappointed.

That would be the way Jesus loves us.

That would be the love we are called to.

Can you imagine a world in which such love was the norm, rather than the extreme?

Neither can I.

But I wonder if, by the grace of God, we can take a step in that direction, even today.

Just one step.

By his grace; for his glory.

Happy Monday, Beloved.
