Love People, Not Pleasures or Things

Excerpt from Love People, Not Pleasure, by Arthur C. Brooks, on July 18, 2014, NY Times Op Ed:

"Love people, use things.

Easier said than done, I realize.  
It requires the courage to repudiate pride and the strength to love others - 
family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, God and even strangers and enemies.  
Only deny love to things that actually are objects.  The practice that achieves this is charity.
Few things are as liberating as giving away to others that which we hold dear."

Love & Fighting

"Love is doing the fighting for him [Christ]."

Walter Hilton
Toward a Perfect Love
page 150

What are you fighting for today?
How are you loving for Him today?

Irresistible

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."

~ Robert Frost
