Something I truly desire in this life is to know the love of Christ, and be able to love to the supernatural degree that He loves. I want to love in all circumstances, even the undeserving, those who persecute me, the drug addicts, the prostitutes, the murders, the disabled. I want to learn how to love in the deepest way, that those who never have felt loved would feel the love of Christ through me.
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment... Philippians 1:9
The only way that we can learn to love the way Jesus loved is if we understand how much He loves us, and allow our hearts to open up in that place of vulnerability and trust that His love is unfailing. Without trusting in His love, we will never be satisfied. When we arn't satisfied our hearts begin searching for that thing which will satisfy, and until we realize He is our only hope we will remain empty.
...but have not love, I am nothing... love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails... 1 Corinthians 13:2-8
