When I think of key relationships, I think about my relationships with Mary Beth, Zack and Nick. In those relationships I know I am called to love more. I know that love is what is articulated in Corinthians. Patience and kindness are the first two descriptors of what love is, and I need to constantly remind myself to live this way. It is so easy to judge those closest to me, and to do so with a callous heart.
An important component of love is the ability to empathize. When I am empathetic, I release my judgments and approach people from a point of unconditional love, the same kind of love I feel from God. When I love in this way I know IA am whole, I have released the anxiety and fear that holds me back from loving fully, and I am being the person that God in the form of Jesus intended me to be.
