Love Is A Life-Giving Force

According to St. Augustine, authentic love is vital and has a power to energize us and breathe life into us.  “People are renewed by love.  As sinful desire ages them, so love rejuvenates them.” ~St. Augustine.  Real love—God’s love—is a potent, life-giving force. “God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” 1John 4:16

Thank you for the wonderful article. I think that love is not really about finding the perfect person. Instead, it is about discovering what is perfect in the imperfect person. Looking for 'good' in someone is the key to all love.
