“The things we love tell us what we are.” - Thomas Aquinas
Love reveals us.
Where we spend our time reveals what we value.
Where we spend our money reveals what we desire.
In every pursuit, the desire to be loved.
For the follower of Jesus, we know that love comes not from striving, but by seeing “…what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are…” 1 John 3:1
If every pursuit reveals a desire to be loved, then resting in the lavished love of God reveals our true identity: children of God; and so we are.
Father, may Your love reveal us. May we love You more than life itself. Amen.
Loved,
