Description
Every issue is a love issue. How do you love people who are hard to love? We want them to change, to be less needy or exhausting or a million other things, when really, the needed change may not be with them at all. Every issue in relationships is a love issue, and when we find it hard to love, we are the one needing to change, but how? Relationships are messy. They require attention and time we often feel we don’t have, and because they are between people in the real world, hurt, missed expectations, and frustration may be part of the story of many of our relationships. Yet, God has called us not only to love Him but also to love our neighbors. It is his love that is the starting place for our own and it is the work of the Spirit in us that makes us capable of truly loving God and others. We have formed our ideas about love based on how people have loved us rather than how God has loved us, and it’s time we choose a new way. In this book, you’ll discover: Love is an extension of God’s love for us. Love is always learning. Love is always forgiving. Love is uncomfortable. Love shows up. Love sacrifices. Love is the only way we build strong relationships that truly last. It’s time to learn to love God’s way.
