There is much power in this Quote. Why? What is the greatest of the commandments? Love. Why would it say there is no limit to the power of loving? Jesus was the perfect answer to that. It was what he practiced as an example of the power of perfect love. He proved its perfection on the cross for the good of a sinful world. (John 3:16; Rom 5:7–8; Eph 2:4–5) The world we live in will try to pervert and change what that means. Unless we love those in sinful condition, which is all of us, we can't know its perfection. By loving those right where they are, in their sinful condition, there is a power that we can't see or imagine. It can transform, remould and rebuild lives around us. No matter what we think, loving someone more than self does indeed have great power. (Matthew 22:34-40, Mark 12:28-31) In the Bible, love is the central attribute of God, the primary fruit of the followers of God, and the defining characteristic of the kingdom of God announced in Jesus. (1 John 4:8 & 16) All too often love is described in the worldly terms and attributes. It is why marriages only last a few years and fail. All marriages go through times of trial but few survive today. That is a dismal outlook for the future. It is even more so for the example we give to the children today. How can I say this? In a few days my DW and I will be married 60 years. We love each other unconditionally. That is what Jesus wanted us to see and understand. Love is not throw away relationships. It is not physical. It is from the heart and soul of our existence. Anything less is not of God, Christ or Holy Spirit. That is why there is no limit to the power of loving. It is the power to forgive, preserve and to heal. This week is another image from Moontear. This sweet image is of an innocent young child that everyone says has big ears. That is part of her charm. Love is something that sees beyond what the eyes can see. Those eyes would melt your heart in nothing flat.
