Definition of love

"What does love look like is the question I've been pondering?  What does love look like?  What does love look like is the question I've been asking of You?...He had arms wide open, a heart exposed."  - Misty Edwards

I heard the above lyrics during a particularly difficult time in one of my relationships where I realized I had pulled my heart away in an effort to protect myself.  The picture this song painted of Jesus as love's definition showed me that I had to stop withdrawing when I was hurt.  Instead, I have to forgive quickly and stay open and vulnerable.  I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I believe staying focused on His open heart towards me is the first step to living a transparent life!  The idea scares me, but I really want to be like Jesus and He lived a selflessly vulnerable life!!! 

"Just knowing that You love me is enough to keep me here!  Just hearing those words is enough to satisfy!  Won't You let me love You more?  This is all that I desire!!!" - Misty Edwards
