Bob Goff has done it again! This is the follow up to Love Does, another incredible series of accounts from Goff's life and experiences, detailing how love impacts the way we approach life and relationships.
In the very first chapter, he tells the story of how his luggage was stolen and relates it to the idea of how hard it is to prove who we are. Not in the scenario of losing your ID, but how poorly we do living up to Jesus' standards of how to show we are his disciples - by our love.
While it's easy to love nice people, there are other who are a lot harder... but "those are the people Jesus spent His whole life engaging."
If we want to love God more fully, we need to be ready to love people more fully. We need to be like Jesus, even when it takes sacrifice and effort.
I am excited to dive into the full book, super easy read but be prepared to be challenged and convicted.
