In Love We Stand

I've been thinking about what love means to me and what it means to the person who is growing up in that country that you hear about or read about. That boy or that girl who is thinking the same thing; what is love? who is love? what does love look like? And then there is the best selling book that tell us how to love and a list that instructs us on the nature and consequences of loving those who don't love you back. Im excited for the love that I will give people I don't even know at this moment. And for the love I will receive. But what about the neighbor, the friend, and the father of the muslim, the terrorist, the dictator who lives in this life and is seemingly untouched by us who 'love' yet undoubtedly feels separated from hope because you and I are 'deserving' and they, 'underserving.' There is no separation in God's eyes and His heart. He has and will always love us. His love is everlasting. And it will go beyond every mans accomplishments and awards. It is a glorious love that is moving the world towards Him. And its going to be a marker for those who have been called out.
