Love doesn’t strut, doesn’t have a swelled head, doesn’t force itself on others, isn’t always “me first,” doesn’t fly off the handle, doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Love doesn’t revel when others grovel, Love takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end. Love never dies. Eugene Peterson – “His Unfolding Grace”   In “The Reflective Life”, Ken Gire writes:                 Before we can love our neighbor, we must see our neighbor and hear our neighbor.  Observing the way a gardener observes plants.  Watching their buds when they’re blooming.  Watering their roots when they’re wilting.  But we cannot weep with those who weep or rejoice with those who rejoice unless we first see something of their tears or hear something of their laugher.  If we can learn to see and hear our neighbor, maybe, just maybe, we can learn to see and hear God.  And seeing Him and hearing Him. To love Him. LOVE PRAYER Lord, nothing brings me face-to-face with my true heart-condition as these words do: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Help me, Lord, to love You with all that is within me.  And then, out of my love for You, help me to love others too.
