As one reflects on love, do they wonder about its quantity?
Is it measured by an average of the amounts of love over a lifetime? Consistently average is the same as highs and lows.
Is it measured by how it starts? Falling in love, butterflies in the stomach, that wonderful first impression?
Is it measured by how it ends? A breakup, an affair, a divorce nullifies everything good before that?
Is it measured by how much one can appreciate? Do I think you love me more because you speak my love language?
I thought about how much God loves me.
Yet the biggest element of love is still that "God sent his only son to die for us, while we were still sinners'
Take something you value a lot, sacrifice it all for an unworthy person, possibly someone who annoys you, irritates you, and waste your precious time. Do it even before knowing if the love can be reciprocated, or if he takes you for granted. Do it even if it risk looking foolish in the eyes of the world, that you might cross your fingers that no one tags 'omg' on your facebook.
Do it so that love is not about some inconsistent expression fed by a spur of a moment. Do it so that a lover has no excuse to say he loved enough. Do it so that love is a challenge than a hindrance. Do it so that we can love in disappointment, in tears, in anger, in pain, in disdain, in courage and in humility.

Do it so that for some crazy reason, there are people with godly decency to talk about for centuries to come. For you cannot erase a love like this.
That is a pretty good measure of love. Past, present, future.
