| Our culture has lost the meaning of what real love is. Consequently, husbands and wives are saying, ‘I don’t have feelings for him or her anymore, so I’m leaving.’ But feelings aren’t the issue. Love is not an emotion or a feeling. It’s a decision. It’s an action. ‘My commandment,’ Jesus said, ‘is that you make the decision to love.’ Fighting the flu and not thinking very clearly as I was at my desk preparing for tonight’s study, I decided to take five minutes to rake some leaves and get some fresh air. No sooner had I walked out the door than a sister walked by, pushing her granddaughter in a stroller. ‘Do you have a minute, Jon?’ she said. ‘Well, yeah, a minute is just about what I’ve got,’ I answered. But as soon as I spoke those words, I was convicted of an attitude that was amiss, so I walked over and began to converse with her. What she shared with me blessed my heart so deeply that I went back into my study totally refreshed. So too, you will come across people today who might initially seem to be an interruption in the raking of your leaves. But if you say, ‘Wait a minute. Here’s an opportunity for me to love,’ you know what will happen? As you make that decision, there will be a change in your emotions. The Lord will meet you in that place. I guarantee it. | ||
