We stood by the fence and watched Brandon go crazy petting and feeding the animals. Helen stood with her hands and chin resting on the fence and just watched Brandon. Because she knew the whole family motto. Love always pays a price. Love always costs something.
Love is expensive.
Understanding God's love for us helps us carry out His command to love one another. After all, if we have not love we are compared to clanging cymbals. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts, but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. Whether we love our best friend or our worst enemy, it is still a choice.
