I am having difficulty with agape at the moment.I recognise that it is a God-like love which we imitate and give to those who may indeed be unworthy of it ...but wow....how hard it is...it seems to go against our every natural inclination.W
When I catch a glimpse of what people are really like ..I can't help but marvel at the gospel - that God who see's all -including the depths of the wickedness of the human soul would give His most precious Son and empty Himself of His glory for such despicable people as us.I must tread carefully here , but I would say that it is grace that is almost .....scandalous.
What motivates such a love, I wonder.....?Because He was the Lamb that was slain from before the foundations of the world......one can only hope that in the light of such sacrifice ...people would be willing to put their own ambitions aside and make it their ambition be pleasing to Him.
