how do I love thee?

"If what we call love doesn't take us beyond ourselves, it is not really love."

Ouch!

I read this phrase, penned by Oswald Chambers, and cannot stop threading it through all parts of my brain.

The parts that ponder God.
The parts that hold my family.
The parts that hold my friends.
Even the parts that still hold a mystery...

and I wondered at my capacity to love.
Truly love.
Surrendered.
Sacrificially.
Completely.
