Christians often speak of love as if it possesses something magic. Love possesses nothing, asks for nothing. Love provides liberty, breadth, and depth to our thoughts on goodness, holiness, kindness. Love teaches us how to judge impartially our lives, our point of view, our actions. Love helps us connect ourselves to other good, God loving and God serving individuals from the past. Love provides perspective on the duration of an individual man’s life in comparison to the history of the world, in comparison with God. Our individual existence is not that great. Greatness only occurs when we give our lives, our love to God and the sphere of our existence moves beyond our personal concerns, moves to universal concerns of compassion, mercy, faithfulness, and love.
Christians are asked to praise and give thanks to God. Christians are asked to be loyal servants of God. Christians are asked to have charity, humility, and obedience for God in their hearts, minds, and souls.
