1. Pick one characteristic of love to focus on this week. How do you fail to love in this way? What might it look like for you to love like this?
2. How does knowing that “heaven is a world of love” help you to (a) long for heaven, and (b) learn to love?
You who think you have met with many abuses, and much ill treatment from others, care not for it; do not hate them for it but set your heart in heaven, a world of love; press towards a better country.
Jonathan Edwards
As love is the only rule of our actions, and the only means of regulating the right use of the gifts ofGod, nothing, in the absence of it, is approved of by God, however magnificent it may be in the estimation of men.
John Calvin
Loving means losing control of our schedule, our money, and our time. When we love we cease to be the master and become a servant.
Paul Miller
