A Prodigious Love – The Look and Feel of Love

"The inner reality of love can be only recognized by love."
- Hans Urs Von Balthasar, Love Alone is Credible

What does genuine, human love look and feel like? The kind of love that is not limited by self-serving motives and is free from expectations of reciprocity? The kind of love built on the confidence that giving is all that matters?

Perhaps it looks and feels like the love of a mother for the baby in her arms. Perhaps like the vows of love exchanged by a couple at the altar.

What, however, might Infinitely perfect love look and feel like? The kind of unconditional love that only an infinite God can give?

Perhaps it is not possible to fully understand the immensity of God's sacrificial love.

Perhaps what really matters, however, is that by our love for each other we can begin to understand what God's divine love for us looks and feels like.
