Learn to Love ~ Because Love is Not Natural

"There is an enormous drive within the fallen human personality that impedes the process of learning to love and an equally powerful force outside of every person that labors to destroy any efforts to love...Complacency and presumption work hand-in-hand to blind even Christians to the importance of love and the inherent battle involved in learning to love. If we are to learn to love, we must begin with an acknowledgment that love is not natural and that love's failure is not easy to admit." (p. 37, Bold Love, Allender & Longman)
