What it means to love a person
From Scot McKnight:
To love a person is to listen to them, and to let their voice speak. To listen to a person is to let that persons world enter into our world. When the latter happens we choose either to enhance our own life with the other person or, as Cain did to Abel, we destroy that other person to make them what we want ourselves. To treat them with love and trust is to let them be the Eikons God made them to be; to refuse to trust them and love them is to make them a golden calf which we can hammer down into our own image.
We have no other real options


wonderful quote.
