Love is not proud because true love isn’t motivated by selfish ambition. I can love each of my sons for who they are as individuals rather than what they accomplish. I love, not because they make me look good or because they boost my self-esteem. I love because the love God has poured into my soul is the love I lavish on my sons; pure, unconditional. To love not because they are worthy but because they are God’s special blessing. To love them with all their assets and foibles because Calvary’s love set the benchmark.
