It's been too long. I remember the days when I could write ten of these in a month. Then sophomore year rolled around. This is short but I hope it gets the message across.
Love you all very dearly,
Jen

I honestly feel like Edmund so much. I constantly wonder how God can love someone as dark, hateful, and horrible as I. Then I remember what love is. Everyone says love is a feeling. I have to disagree. Love is no emotion. It's a bond so strong that you would go to hell and back for the person; they mean the world and you'd die for them. Love looks at you and says "I'll stay at your side come hell or high water". They're may be different kinds of love, but all have to meet those requirements.

He loved us when we hated Him. This never made any sense to me. It's not human to love those who inflict pain on you. It's not natural to willingly serve your enemy. But that's the point. It isn't a rational love; it's a love that defies the rational mind and makes the common sense do a 180°. God's love is something so radical that He would die for someone who would kill him. That's what love really is. So no matter how Edmund like I feel tonight, or how Edmund like I've been, that radical love lives on in me and through me. Since I've become a Christian, that's become my life's goal, to love so radically that people notice I'm not like them. It's hard, it's not easy, but hey; who ever said love was a victory march?
