Keep Your Love On: ConnectionSample
The first truth to accept in learning to respond in love is that you cannot control other people. The only person you can control, on a good day, is yourself. This is the fundamental principle of human freedom. Without choice, you don't have freedom. More importantly, you don't have love, which requires freedom. God chose you, loves you, and wants you to choose Him and love Him in return. This is why He gave you a free choice, even though it necessarily meant risking the rejection and devastation of a disconnected relationship.
- Who was the first person ever to model love for you? Did it look like control, or did it look like freedom?
- In your relationships, do you encourage freedom by respecting the other's choices and expecting them to do the same for you?
