Not just romantic love but family love, friendship love, neighbor love. But in the end it is the only work worth doing. It is harder in the end to not love.It seems like hard work sometimes, but Jesus says, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” John says the command to love “….Is not burdensome….”
So why does it seem so hard sometimes? Bruce Cockburn says “When you’re lovers in a dangerous time….You got to kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight.”
