The way I understand it John "love from a pure heart
is the goal of the instruction" and the reality is that we are
inadequate and unable to love the way God does without a lot of help.
We don't love Him the way we should, we don't love ourselves, and we
don't love others. We are too quick to point the finger and deny (the
old Adamic nature). Growth happens when we get brutally honest before
God and with ourselves; when we begin to deal with these issues and
come to Him calling dirt what He calls it and repenting on His terms,
then grace is there to make it happen. None of us has got to stay
locked in to ungodly behavior. jt
undoubtedly
the wisest thing I have ever heard you say. A BIG amen.
