I'll never forget driving down the road and hearing this quote:
The Apostle Paul sees love not so much as a set of guidelines that you pick up and do. Real love is a living active power that comes and picks you up and changes you.
We will never become loving only by trying hard. Paul implies that we’ll only become loving through meeting and encountering. Becoming a person of love is not a mechanical process. Something profound must happen to us. We must meet Love. We must have an ongoing encounter with the person of Jesus.
(excerpted from the curriculum that the women will study this fall, 1 Corinthians 13)
"I don't pick love up... love picks me up? Wow. Was I a Christian five minutes ago? This truly is good news."
