I was doing a class tonight at church with our visitors and we talked about our view on the love we have for each other and how much it differs from God's love for us. It was interesting to see that we often make a clear distinction between the love we have for our mothers, siblings or even pets. But very often (and quite surprisingly), we admit that this love is conditional and a two way highway. Most of us have boundaries that if crossed, we tend to retreat our hearts or completely move away from those who hurt us.
But yet God's love, as its explained in the bible, shows us that it has no limits to how much God has loved us through his son. So is it really love when we deal with each other with a pinch of salt. One moment we're in cloud nine, the next you want to throttle that very person. It is obvious that the very person that created love hav only one rule for us mere mortals: love as i have loved you. Although a foreign concept to most of us, it is a theology that we need to embrace in order to be complete in God's love for us. I must admit, which i also did tonight, we will never truly love as he loved until that day when we meet him. So until that day, we'll give it our best shot...
