Love has so many seasons, facets, and chapters. From new romances to 70th Anniversaries, love can take on many faces and fill many spaces in our heart.
This scripture is another way for reminding us that because God loved us first, forgiving the worst in each of us, we can love each other with grace and forgiveness. We will spend a lifetime learning about and practicing "perfect love." We will not always get it right, but we can keep trying.
"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” -John 13:34-35
Each time we choose love, we provide evidence of His work in our lives and in our hearts. It does not mean we always have to get our way, nor do we always need to give in. It means there is give, take, and a balance in love that reflects Christ's work in our hearts.
Love big. Love hard. Love softly. Love tenaciously. Love with mercy and grace. Love never fails. Love always wins.
Today, I am grateful love wins.
