I love Aruba! I also love piping hot coffee, matcha tea, gray sweatshirts, and crisp clean cotton sheets. I love leather and denim coats. I love day-old haircuts, striking asanas and posing upward toward Heaven. I like deep conversations at my dining room table. I love to belt out songs in church, especially ones that have the word Halleluyah in them. But out of all of these things I love, they give me something back for loving them. Sadly, it boils down to this: everything in this world that I love and if it loves me, loves me, only conditionally.

Then, like the Grinch, she thought of something she hadn’t before! What if true love, she thought, didn’t come from a store? What if true love, perhaps, is a little bit more!”

Then she goes and gets all spiritual.

Take Roman’s 5:8. God says.”But God commanded His love toward us, in that while we were sinner’s Christ died for us.”

God doesn’t say, “As soon as you clean up your act, I’ll love you.” Nor does He say “I’ll sacrifice my Son if you promise to love me.” In Romans 5:8, we find just the opposite. God wants us to know that His love is unconditional, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still unlovable sinners. Now that’s true love!

It’s so nice to find that true love can’t be bought from a store.

That is because, true love is a whole lot more!

Thanks for reading!

Hoping your day is filled with love!!
