Not Loving Can Be Deadly - to ourselves

"He who does not love abides in death." I John 3:14.
"Notice that he did not say, "he who hates," but simply, "he who does not love."
The mere absence of love is deadly...
Notice also that he did not say, "he who is not loved," ... our purpose cannot be to get others to love us." The author concludes: "Our purpose must then be to become one who loves...
Love is not a feeling...it is the divine way of relating to others and oneself..."
(p. 520, 521-ebook, Renovation of the Heart, Dallas Willard)
