Just me trying to be honest with God.

“There is no power greater than true affection.” Seneca the Younger

I used to think that emotional love was weaker than the love of action, but I now realize that the love of affection, properly expressed, may fuel the resolve of the love of action. Actions come so much easier when we feel strongly about someone. It is also true that the love of our emotions and actions need the guidance of wisdom, and so it seems the true love involves all three, the mind, the will and our emotions. God said as much when He asked us to love with our whole heart. 

“And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.” Gen.29.20 Conversations Within” ts 12/10/2018
