Love > ___

The devil loves hate because it is not love.
It is the antithesis of love.
He hates love in us because it makes us look like the one he hates.
Love is the most powerful weapon over darkness.

  "Love covers over a multitude of sins."

Why? Because love by nature, is selfless. It serves and promotes the best interests/wants/needs/desires of another. Love creates community. Love is the way of life and light.

Hate, on the other hand is naturally selfish. It serves and promotes the best interests/wants/needs/desires of itself. Hate creates isolation. Hate is the way of death and darkness.

I'm completely messed up tonight by the contrast of love and anything else. Love is greater. I mean, let's look at love and law. The law is powerful. But love came along and rose as a higher standard, a greater law if you will. Look at the law of gravity. It binds things to the earth and it's gravitational pull. But! Now look at the law of aerodynamics. It trumps the law of gravity and allows flight or freedom from gravity.

Through love then, we have access to freedom. Love is a new dimension we have access to and can remain in if we choose to. Love is greater than ___. Insert the rule or law of your choosing.

Wow. We've missed it. Jesus didn't come to get us into heaven once we stumble through a brutal experience called life. He came to open the door to a whole new dimension of higher possibility! I'll end my rambling tonight with this question, "Why do we choose to continue walking and imposing our chosen state of walking on others when we've been given the ability to fly?"
