Consider MY dog, Molly.
I was contemplating (deep
thought) whether my dog has the capacity of what we call love; the ability to be
affectionate. More than any other definition, we put more emphasis on
"feeling(s)" to explain what love is. But feeling may be of least
importance. I believe "utmost devotion" to be a better definition of
love…a commitment, if you will, of the responsibility we assume to care for
someone else more than ourselves. 1 Corinthians 13:8 says, "Love never
fails." NEVER failing!
THAT standard is exceedingly high.
I have, on occasion,
failed my dog. She has NOT failed me.
