Love is a commitment that will be tested in the most vulnerable areas of spirituality, a commitment that will force you to make some very difficult choices. It is a commitment that demands that you deal with your lust, your greed, your pride, your power, your desire to control, your temper, your patience, and every area of temptation that the Bible clearly talks about. It demands the quality of commitment that Jesus demonstrates in His relationship to us. Ravi Zacharias
About This Quote

Human love is often viewed as a soft and romantic feeling, but love can be a very demanding and difficult thing to experience. Love is something that we must commit ourselves to because we sacrifice so much for it. We must give up our pride and put our needs first so we can be able to be fully and truly loved. We must sacrifice and put ourselves in danger because we want to protect those we love. We must give up control and be patient with those that we care about.
