While reading a book for an assignment for my Christian Studies class, I came across a frank quote that very aptly captured my own struggles with Christian love. I thought I'd share.
"Why is real Christian love so scarce in the world? It is because its cultivation requires nothing less than the reversal of every instinct in our fallen human natures. Love is against the grain of nature. It is against every fiber of our being as sinners. But nature, in the regenerate, is under the higher power of grace... What the unregenerate cannotdo, true Christians may and must."
