watching us, knowing full well all that will be left standing in the end is
our love. I bet our spouses, kids, and friends are watching too.
If you want to become love, stop just agreeing with Jesus. Go call
someone right now. Lift them up in ways they can’t lift themselves. Send
them a text message and say you’re sorry. I know they don’t deserve it.
You didn’t either. Don’t put a toe in the water with your love; grab your
knees and do a cannonball. Move from the bleachers to the field and you
won’t ever be the same.
Don’t just love the people who are easy to love; go love the difficult
ones. If you do this, Jesus said you’d move forward on your journey
toward being more like Him. Equally important, as you practice loving
everybody, always, what will happen along the way is you’ll no longer be
who you used to be. God will turn you into love.
