Agape Love

Have you ever been railed with a word over a period of a couple of days? In the past 4 days I've had someone, teacher, speaker, and such bring up the word "agape." Today I was reading in my Introduction to Christian Doctrine text and yet again that word came up. At this point I had to look it up and think of the implications in my life. Agape is one of the greek words for love. It represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. This is what God has for us. And this is what I should have for my fellow neighbor. Right now I have a lot of anger for a specific person/situation, but I am not called to have that anger, I am called to have agape love for them. I am called to serve them with love and care for them despite whatever this situation is. I have to be bigger than all of this.
