LOVE Is…

Lent is a season that calls us to reflect on the great love that Christ has for us – a love so great that it moves Him to die.  We, of course, are not only to reflect on Christ’s love, but reflect out His love to the world.  As Jesus Himself commands: “Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another” John 13:34.

Love and forgiveness are intimately connected. You will never be able to love someone well if you are not able to forgive them for the times they do not love you well. We should seek, on the one hand, never to lead someone we love into sin while, on the other hand, forgiving others when they tempt us into sin, or sin against us.
