Comments on: Love is More Than a Heart-Shaped Pendant http://doableevangelism.com/2008/11/24/love-is-more-than-a-heart-shaped-pendant/ What if evangelism meant just being yourself? Tue, 15 May 2012 01:13:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: April http://doableevangelism.com/2008/11/24/love-is-more-than-a-heart-shaped-pendant/comment-page-1/#comment-18161 April Sat, 03 Jan 2009 02:57:55 +0000 http://doableevangelism.com/?p=1025#comment-18161 Randy S., I love how you expressed yourself in your post. I'm sorry that I didn't notice your post earlier as I have been busy during my holidays. Think how many people have yet to learn what you already know about Love. You are richer than some. Someday you will be able to look at your wounds and realize that they are what has brought you to Love. Today, I am taking pause to remember my sister-in-law Vikki whom we lost on this very day four years ago. None of us go through this life without loss or scars. It is only how we determine to live after these events that makes the difference. Your wounds are deeper than most, and perhaps that is the reason that God reached deeper to carry you through it. That is the real beauty of our God. You have been saved for a purpose and that purpose is to be an example of God's Love. My prayer for you is that you become the greatest of His examples. God bless you. Randy S.,

It appears so, when you look at a mothers love for her child, and as you mentioned, the apparent lack of favoritism on the part of infants. But a more cynical view would argue that the mothers love is self-serving, and that the infant is just wowed by everything...but is primarily in love with the one who puts food in it's mouth. Can we really love unconditionally? Or is that something only God can do? Is conditional love, by exptrapolation, inferior love, some kind of shadow of the real deal?
