Loving Someone Is a Choice

Healthy relationships are not accidental, but instead require consistent investment. Even in the context of healthy and God-honoring relationships, we must live with intentional and deliberate actions that demonstrate our love and concern for others. This can only be done well and consistently if Christ, who chose to demonstrate His love for us on the cross, is at work within us. This should shape our perspective to realize that our ability to love others well comes as a direct result from our relationship with Christ.
