He simply chose to love us because He wants to. Second, love is a skill. It is something we have to practice in order to perfect. When we give a back rub, cook a favorite meal, buy a romantic piece of jewelry, we practice the skill of love. When we volunteer to sing in the choir, teach the junior high class, meet with God in the rush of the morning, write a check to a Christian organization, we practice the skill of love.
Love is a skill which practice makes perfect.
Third, love is also a commitment. Sometimes love means doing the opposite of what you want to do. Staying when you want to go, giving when you want to receive. Opening when you want to close, accepting when you want to reject. Love is a commitment.
