"God is love, and humans are made in God's image. Love, then, is who we are - love's agents.
God is the giver, we are the gifted, love is the gift. God is the caller, we are the called, love is the calling." (page 68, The Beautiful Risk, James H. Oltuis)
Othuis says Emmanuel Levinas called "the beautiful risk" as the ability "to live openly in the present as love's agents..." (page 74, IBID)
Think of yourself as an agent for love. Represent 'him/her' well. Act on their behalf.
