Although love is vital to our walk with Christ, and love is good, loving is not easy. Instead of loving, we often choose ourselves. This is why Jesus gave us his one command: "Love ." Now surely, you and I are able to love here and there, but is a here and there a representation of a command, to love? In this episode we will discuss what we believe to be the most common reason we choose not to love, which is the same reason we choose to avoid most things in life: frustration. To justify the urge of our selfish frustration is the moment we most often deny the command to love. Instead of patience, we justify impatience. While frustrations are an everyday undesired experience, frustrations are also our most common opportunity to die to self. They are a moment to lean into and grow into a deeper relationship with our perfect Savior, Jesus Christ.
