The Puzzle of Love - Day 2

A friend calls. We pick up the phone.

And that friend tells us how important we are to him or her. Or a family member calls and expresses his or her love.Or we have a quiet conversation with someone we work with. And beyond any work conflicts or disagreements that might have come up, we feel a connection there. Something touches us. Our heart opens. And we know love is real. Application: This value happens by the grace of God. Some of us spent our whole lives looking for love—from God, other people, family members. When the lights come on and we finally realize that this is it, it’s a pretty amazing thing. Love just didn’t look like we thought it would.

Love might be a feeling and a gift, but it’s also hard work.
