The General Assembly theme this year was "The Beauty of Holiness" but we heard a LOT about love. How can there be any holiness without love? It's been said that if we were to condense the entire Bible down to only one word, it would be "love." God IS love. With that in mind, I came across the following excerpt in the book, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and was touched by the truth of it. Take a look:
"We believe that we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our well-being is dependent on other people loving us. But this is the kind of upside-down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is that our well-being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!"
