Well, I did something I rarely do… go to a worship service. I’m still much more the house church gather together share pray worship on a small scale sort of guy, but I really enjoyed the worship and was pleasantly surprised to find that Brennan stayed over from the conference and was the speaker this morning.
He said a lot of great things, and one of them I just had to write down. To make sure I remember it even more, I want to post the quote.
“How can you say you love me, if you don’t know what hurts me?”
The point was that Jesus loves us and that loves includes knowing what hurts his people. And it made me think about not only how much Jesus loves me but how much I love others. Am I so self-centered that I only think the things that hurt me hurt other people? Many things that hurt other people don’t bother me at all… and, of course, vice versa. Those I say I love, do I know what hurts them? How deep is my love?
