There is perhaps no greater joy than the true pleasure of love. I do not mean only love of the romantic variety, but the love between friends, the love between people that have been allowed to see the deep parts of one another. This is one of the truly beautiful gifts that God has given us. But despite this truth, our sin natures continually act as a toxin, degrading our relationships and spoiling the great joy of love.
This is why it is so vital that we seek God in faith, that we would give every bit of ourselves–even our relationships–to God so that He would consecrate and sanctify us fully. It is only in giving ourselves to God that He is free to transform us from the inside out. This is the only way to truly protect and cherish the love in our lives. Let us then commit to seek after God without end so as to be made able to love with reckless abandon and utter trust!
