Words are cheap aren???t they. If someone says ???I love you??? that???s fantastic, but it doesn???t prove that they do. The evidence of love is in what they do. It???s true of people ??? and it???s true of God. I mean, if God were put on trial, accused with loving you, would there be sufficient evidence to convict Him?

Love they say is what makes the world go round. But as I look around the world, whilst yes there???s obvious love between family members and other people and whilst yes, there are some great missional and humanitarian initiatives afoot - no doubt about that - man there???s a lot of hatred too.

Loving other people can be hard. In fact, love always involves tough bits. Because the people whom we love aren???t perfect far from it. And, let???s face it, you and I aren???t perfect either. So when two imperfect people love each other, there???s going to be some conflict, some pain, some hurt and some disappointment. And sometimes, what we want to do is to give up.
