How much do you value the things of this life that you enjoy? I think it strange that people will say, "I love Starbucks, or I love that song, or I love this perfume, car, sports team........" and the list goes on and on.
I wonder if any of us really stop to think about the implication of loving something which cannot be capable of loving us back.
This seems to be what God was referencing when he said you shall not build for your selves false idols....... (those things which we value in a way that we were only meant to value God.)
Over time this has bled into how we love each other and the understanding that you cannot fully love something that cannot receive that love.
Do you realize that even if someone does not know you love them or does not reciprocate that love that you are still called to love them. To be a beacon in a dark world, to endure regardless of the obstacles that stand. Regardless of how they react to you they still receive your love. Their spirit man is aware of the love you show toward that person and it affects that person's life, their decisions, their thoughts, and their self image.
What if we were crazy in love with God, with Jesus Christ the way he is for us. What if we were as excited to meet with him each day..... the same way we are excited to meet with our coffee or our special treat or fun time......
