"How does your love grow?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Hoey tell his story!

I was walking along the fence line to one of our horse pastures last December. I cruise them occasionally to insure they’re okay and also to make sure nothing’s growing up around them that needs cutting.

So I’m walking along and everything’s fine. Posts and boards are in place and nothing is growing up around them. And then I see it—a lone daisy growing under the fence line.

Now remember, it’s December, not exactly daisy weather. That daisy shouldn’t be growing according to conventional thinking. But I guess somebody forgot to tell the daisy. It displayed its vibrant yellow for anyone to see, virtually glowing against the drab winter background.

Love is like that. It glows brilliantly against the sometimes drab and cold world we live in. And this week you celebrate love that glows, a love that grows in your relationships where it shouldn’t, against the conventional thinking that says only love those people like you.

Love others the way God loves you as you listen to life and make a life.
