Love based on Faith

     The truest, most sacrificial form of love is a choice. It is an action not an emotion. It is based on faith, not feeling, and not faith in the ones you choose to love (for they can still let you down) but faith in the One who loves all in spite of all.

What verses about love mean the most to you?

"Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that." - Ephesians 5:2, The Message

I see God...
                   in love based on faith in Someone far more true and loving than myself.
