From God’s perspective – everything. We heard Tina Turner’s question ring from her famous song. It’s a question that is asked often. How do we answer? We don’t answer from an emotional point of view, but rather from action. Love initiates. Love approaches the unloveable. Love is perfected in us by the only one who can – God.

Our anchor verse was Matthew 22:33, where God declared that His commandment to love him completely and love others as completely is the hinge from which all of His other commandments hang.

For those who want to go deeper on the subject, here are two documents with the verses in the New Testament that are about love. As you study them, look at the context. As you meditate on the verses ask what are they teaching us about God and about ourselves.
