If you are having real trouble loving a couple of your fellow flight attendants do not despair. Our filling with the love of Christ is a progressive event, not an immediate one.
An enduring filling of our hearts with divine love worth sharing is not an instantaneous event.
It is progressive. It lasts a lifetime and will not be finished until He completes us the day we stand before Him and come to fully know Him as we are fully known.
In the meantime, we may struggle and struggle hard with our dying, fear-based flesh, but we need not despair because in the economy of sanctification the old cliché holds true; love, God’s love, eventually conquers all.
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” -1st John 4:7 (ESV)
