God's love for me can sound crazy and irrational to me sometimes. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Love really is a choice. It's a choice to love Christ, myself, and others. It's a choice for me to be more like Christ, not only with my words, but through my actions. I have a hard time telling people that I love them... I always have... Instead, I have learned to show people how much I love them with the simple things I do: sending them notes, having coffee with them, helping them with their kids, hanging out with them while they wait at the dentist...
Love really is a choice. A choice to be there for someone, even when I don't feel like it; a choice to answer my phone; a choice to respect and honor the ones I love AND the ones I don't love so much. WHY? Because Jesus said so; plain and simple. He not only stated that we NEED to love our enemies, but He took the time to explain WHY it is necessary to do so:
"If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?" Matthew 5:46
Love really is a choice. My first name "Elom" means "HE (God) loves me". His love leaves me speechless.
EED
