I once read that the opposite of love is not hate it is indifference. When we stop caring about others and their needs (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, etc.) then we do become a people gravitated to hating and not loving.

God’s Love is a black/white issue – we either live it tangibly or we don’t live it at all. There is no halfway with this form of love because there is no circumstance in which we would love-heartedly that wouldn’t result in actions and behaviours that would be self-interested and self-motivated.

NP living out this sort of love would become more of a place where everyone felt appreciated, comforted, defined, sharpened and equipped for the greatest purpose of our lives – living to give glory to God.

Anyways…I was just struck by the way Buzzy just offered to come over and work on it. He gave of his time and resources to come and help someone who’s not his relative, but who’s a member of our church family, and I think that was incredibly loving. I think that’s the way things should work, and i don’t think there are very many people out there who would do something like that. It also made me want to make sure I’m giving of myself…anybody need anything? I thought I was dog sitting last week but never got a call….

That stuck with me all day and I woke up thinking about it again this morning. Rarely can you find something summed up in such a simple sentence. You say you love people Prove It. We say we want to be like Christ Live It. Love isn’t a spectator sport you just have to get in and get your hands dirty.
