"Since you are God's dear children, you must try to be like him. Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God." (Ephesians 5.1-2 GNB)

What does it mean to be controlled by love - "agape" love, not the other kinds? The passage in 1 Corinthians 13 describes agape in more details.

To be controlled by love I must hand my control over to Christ' love, to let his love guide every thought, decision, word, and action.

Lord,
may my life be
a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice
that pleases you
