What is perfect love? A love that leads to transformative change and blessing for many people. A love that breaks the ties that bind people in captivity and away from God. A love that has no sin in it at all. A love that gives itself for the greater good, a love that serves all that is true about God.
.
What is perfect hate? A hate that leads to transformative change and blessing for many people. A hate that breaks the ties that bind people in captivity and away from God. A hate that has no sin in it at all. A hate that takes from itself for the greater good, a hate that serves all that is true about God.
.
God seeks more than obedience. He seeks the heart. It’s the loving heart that can obey God, sacrifice and suffer in order to seek God. The journey is imperfect but love makes the imperfect, perfect and the impossible, possible.
