So I just started a study with some girls from my church on the Fruit of the Spirit. And we started with the first and foremost fruit of LOVE.
And I was struck when we were talking about how God is love, that God has to be so much more. HE has so many more characteristics other than love, doesn't He? His justice and power and His beauty--and yet, maybe it isn't our definition of God that is lacking.
Maybe it is our definition of LOVE. Maybe true love encompasses all that God is. And all the wonder and beauty and might and mystery and steadfastness that is the God we serve.
So if we allow God to love others through us? When we choose to say, I can't do this, but you can Lord. What amazing love will be ours.
