I loved the title of the book, Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them, so I picked up the book. I identified with the title. Maybe other people don't…they are 'normal.' But, I was surprised to even learn something about love:
"We think of people having the capacity to love who have mostly gotten life right - healthy people with high self-esteem and low regret factors. Normal people.
There is no such thing, dear. Jesus says the great lovers are those who have come face-to-face with their own great brokenness and have been undone by great grace." (page 211, John Ortberg)
Be undone by great grace today to be enabled to love more fully.
