With tumult all around us--the silliness that is "climate change," a failing economy, a culture that seems to have lost any semblance of principle or moral grounding, politicians whose only concern is forcing their own agenda on the people who would rather not have it--one of my favorite DHP authors offers some good news in this excerpt from a Resources for Your Ministry blog post that will be published on Christmas day:
"Human love has reasons to love—wealth, beauty, intelligence, or other attributes that make love’s object loveable and desirable. Divine love is not based on merit or deservedness. God loves you, not because you are yourself but because He is Himself: 'God is love' (1 John 4:8, 16). Philosopher Peter Kreeft argues that God’s love cannot answer the question, 'Why do I love thee?' He can only say, 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways . . .'"
