love relentlessly...

is the title of chapter eight in Matthew Paul Turner's book Provocative Faith: Walking Away from Ordinary. here's a line i like, and i thought i'd share it with you: "Jesus wants us to show love with complete abandonment." (page 130) Turner is ultra-honest about his faith journey in this book. he also includes some interviews in some of the chapters with people. he tells his, theirs, and other peoples stories that we can relate to and learn from. it's an easy and enjoyable read. pick it up and read it. thinking about love, here are a couple things that have come to mind:

"...all you need is love. all you need is love. all you need is love, love. love is all you need..." (the beatles)

"...'love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength... Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Jesus in Mark 12:30-31, NIV)

"...i love you like a fat kid loves cake..." (50 cent)

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us..." (1 John 3:16, NIV)
