Love

Reading one of St. Augustine's tractates on the Gospel of John for my Biblical Hermeneutics class. This is my favorite line by Augustine;

"To love God is even a gift of God. He himself granted that he be loved, who, when not loved, loved."

Thank you God for loving me. Thank you for allowing me to love you even though I sin and hurt you in ways only you know. Teach me to love as you love. Teach me to give my love as freely as you do. In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen
