Loving is like breathing, like being fully alive

Morning: Psalm 137:1-6; Jeremiah 35:1-19; I Corinthians 12:27-13:3

Evening: Psalm 104; Matthew 9:35-10:4

Inspired speech, or great deeds, or sacrificial acts without love are of no use, says St. Paul.  But when these things are done in love … then there’s magic! The opposite of ‘without’ is ‘within’ or ‘in’. You do not have love; love is something you’re in, like an atmosphere, or an ocean.  We cannot gather up Love so as to have lots to give away. We can only step into Love and let it change us.  To give Love, we must first receive it, and embrace it; then, loving is like breathing, like being fully alive.

Graham
