Christian virtues · The purpose

Love

Definition

Love wills the good of the other person, and pays the cost of that good. Warmth may accompany it. Warmth is not required for it.

The lesson

This is the purpose under the warrior’s strength. Without love, courage becomes dominance and loyalty becomes a gang. With it, strength has someone to serve besides the man who carries it.

Pick a person you are tempted to manage, impress, or resent. Do one thing today that is for their good and not for your feeling about them. If you do not know their good, ask before you act.

How. Do one costly good for one person. If you are unsure what would help, ask them.

Watch. Affection that refuses a hard truth, or a hard truth delivered because you enjoy being right.

The book finishes this. Love as the purpose of the whole program, worked through marriage, children, brothers, and the stranger.
