“Love each other. Just as I have loved you,
you should love
each other.” Jn. 13:34
Simply said, in our humanness, we’re ugly to the core. And
learning how to truly love another ugly human being in our own self-sufficiency
is nearly impossible.
Yet, as we learn to admit our own personal inadequacy and
fully lean on the infinite resources of God Himself, He transforms us from
within and teaches us how to love as He loves.
In intimate relationship,
- To be loved yet not known is typically superficial lust that will not endure.
- To be known yet not loved is one of our greatest fears, so we hide.
- To be known fully and loved wholly is divine love our hearts yearn for.
What kind of love do you fancy? We Cleary’s desire #3!
The question is then, are we willing to give Him full control of the reigns on our life and our relationships?
