In this sense the love of our neighbor is the test of our love of God. Love is a creative power because it leads the loved one to look upon himself as the loving one looks upon him. Love idealizes its object. That is what love is for. By so doing it creates the hope and inspires the effort in the loved one to live up to that ideal.
Love is said to be blind.
No statement is more untrue, for nothing is so keen-eyed as love, blind only in the sense that it deliberately shuts its eyes to defects, and centers its attention on the possibilities in order to help them to grow and crowd out the defects. Men's thought of the possibilities which God's love sees in them is the greatest creative power in human life. Not just under a minister in the five-fold but every Christian on this planet should be a minister. What is a minister but someone that loves those around them enough to give them a testimony of what Jesus has done for them. If Jesus has saved you and brought you out of darkness into eternal light, then you have a testimony of Jesus that should be shared.
