Sometimes love is hard labor. Sometimes it is long service... the giving up of self... the giving up of one's time.
Love is a choice. It is a test. In meeting it's test we open a door to rich experience in the Spirit... in the knowledge of God's grace and in the awareness of His faithfulness. As we lean into Him for strength we tap into deep wells of His goodness and wisdom and insight.
While we are yet leaning we are soaring to new heights in the Spirit. Those watching may think we have loss, but in Christ we have only gain.
"And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
Galatians 6:9 KJV
