Love

Oh to love, so many of us desire it, Few of us really acquire it.
That true love that rocks you in your soul, that shakes everything you know. Knowing that you have loved with all that you are. That love that causes you to lay down your life for the one you have loved. The love that does not to seek to please self, that love that says even if I lose I will give my all. Oh to love without being loved back, what the world calls stupid love, and what I call consummate love. Total devotion to one, total and utter surrender to loving that one. It is possible here on earth. It is possible because it is in us, it was in our father, when he created the universe. He made us to love us. It is in our brother when he hung on the cross, he saved us because he loves us. It is in the comforter, who left heaven for us. He loves us because he loves us. It is in us to love one another more than ourselves, to lay down our lives for the sake of the other. To risk it all, to put it all on the line. Unselfish, unending, unyielding, forgiving, long living, persistent, furious LOVE. Oh to love, so many of us desire it yet none of us really know how to completely relinquish it…Becuase loving beyond yourself is risking all, it is leaving yourself open , it is total abandonment, to be totally abandoned to love… Where nothing else matters but love. Oh Jesus feel us with this love, teach us how to love. How to love you, how to love one another, may I be driven and compelled by love to love for the sake of loving. Jesus in this week release that passionate, dangerous love that is unafraid and unmovable and unconditional, unyielding, magnificent, beautiful, yet frightening, daring, consuming LOVE! Oh to love…
