How We Love

“Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.”― Thomas à Kempis, The Inner Life

“God’s definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.”― Francis Chan, Crazy Love

Encouragement rather than criticism.
Kindness, generosity, compassion.
Forgiving first again.
Taking the high road.
No walls, limits, exclusions, exceptions, burden, toil.
The transformative power of love.
Poured out in simple intentions followed by actions.
A daily choice to make again and again.
Swinging above its weight.
Winning every time.
When all other schemes, plans, pursuits, shortcuts, hacks, work arounds fall short again and again.
Love remains.
Inviting us back to the only thing that works.
That ever will.

“True faith manifests itself through our actions.”― Francis Chan
