INTENTIONAL DISICPLES live every day with a presently existing love. Temptations abound to make daily love of God something to be experienced later.
What would a spouse think who, when asking their beloved partner the question “Do you love me?” receives this response: “Oh, I have a great desire to love you one day. I will work toward it happening – really I will. I sure hope to make it happen someday.”
Yes, you are right to smile! Is this not the very response many excellent souls actually hold toward Jesus?
