Ruth's Ramblings

The 2nd Greatest Commandment

From Larry Crabb's Inside Out, pp. 117:

When we learn to accept people who disappoint us by no longer requiring them to satisfy us, then we're free to love them, to reach toward them for their sake without having to protect ourselves from feeling disappointed by their response to us...

The mature Christian is one who is growing in his ability to love people as they are, not as he wishes them to be.
