Do you love Jesus?

Right now, at Urban Promise we are reflecting on this question and what it means to us as a part of our devotional time. It seems like a pretty basic question and the answer is, of course, yes. But I think what the question entails is whether or not we have accepted the absolute unconditional love from Jesus and are attempting to love in the same way in return.

In the book we are reading, the author talks about a second love which is the earthly love we search for. We look to our friends and our families to feel loved, belonging, affection, acceptance and intimacy. We say we love Jesus and all we want is Jesus yet we look everywhere else for the things we can only truly find through Jesus. When we look for it from people, it can end up in sadness, anger, rejection, betrayal and loneliness. 

So after thinking about it like that, I'm going to try and start looking in the right places for what I need and continue exploring what it looks like to love unconditionally in return. Easy
