Love Does

So I started reading Love Does by Bob Goff. It is so good! Im typically not a reader, but this book is a plethora of, what resemble to me, Young Life talks.

If you aren't familiar with any Young Life talks, it is simply this: a funny/interesting/crazy/entertaining story that draws kids in. Once you tell your funny story that you have, you some how relate it back to a story in the bible. And that's exactly what happens in this book.

Anyways, today I read the chapter "Sweet Maria," which is all about Bob Goff's wife and how he pursued her. He did crazy things like putting sandwiches under her windshield wipers everyday. Why? I don't know but it worked. And he made a giant Valentines Day card that wouldn't even fit in an elevator. Talk about embarrasing. But it worked.

It is the same way Jesus pursues us. He is spontaneous and creative and persistent. He loves us so much and He never stops loving us. The very beginning of 1 Corinthians 13: 4 says, "Love is patient..."

That's all we need to know. That God is so patient with us, through everything we do to turn against Him. He is going to patient with us because He loves us.

That's just what love does.
