Think of Love
Is that possible? To think of love.
Thinking is a rational act. Love is emotional.
Therefore, how to be rational with something emotional?
Or, how to be rational with something irrational?
No, that can't be right. I have made the wrong assumption that emotion equals irrationality.
God is full of Love. And I can't say God is full of irrationality.
God loves us. We sin against him. When we seek His forgiveness, He forgives.
Some people may argue the absence of rationale in forgiving. It does not make sense to forgive someone who has betrayed you. It makes more sense to reciprocate with punishment.
When we sin, we betray God, don't we? Yet, God forgives. Why?
Because, God is All Forgiving, too. And a small amount of that Forgiving trait trickles into us, too. Now it makes sense. Now it's rational.
What am I doing? I'm rationalizing an emotion. I'm thinking of love. It is possible to do that. To think of love.
