Love Smart.

Who drops a piece of paper on a clean freak’s desk? Why would a highly productive person put “sit on couch” in their calendar? When is it a good idea to show up at someone’s apartment unannounced when they’ve specifically told you they need to focus to meet a deadline?

A boss who knows words of affirmation mean the world to her hardworking employee.

Because this husband who knows quality time marked by good conversation fills his wife’s heart of joy.

When the kind act of giving the gift of dinner reminds them they are seen and loved for who they are, not because of what they do.

It’s not enough to say we love the people around us. We have to show it. More importantly, we have to show it in the ways that mean the most to the person we want to feel loved. We have to love intentionally, creatively and personally.

Join us this weekend as we look at the primary quality of a disciple of Jesus, the one that when it is evident in our lives, the rest come as a natural byproduct.

Homework

Ask God to help you get love right.

Ask God to show you where you aren’t getting love right.

Quote: Gary Black, “We often use the excuse of loving the whole world in order to get out of loving any one person in particular.”
