The Habit of Love


Sometimes we get busy...
Sometimes we are neglectful...
Sometimes we don't feel like it...
Sometimes it doesn't come easy...
Sometimes we are tired...
....but
Love
is
commanded.
Not very romantic sounding.
...but why
is it commanded?
Because  it is not  always easy...
....because it goes against our selfishness.
It goes in the face of our pride.
It comes from a deeper place,
not from 
a feeling,
but 
from
choice.
As God has chosen to love me 
"warts and all"...
...I choose to love...
as He has loved me.
I can do 
no less for others.
And when I choose this kind of love
it is freeing.
It is not a slave to feelings,
to circumstances,
to whim.
It becomes a certainty...
...a reality...
A
"LOVE"-ly
 habit.
