Do out of love (2)

"LOVE has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and you cannot help giving."

~ Katharine Hepburn, "Me"

Ms. Hepburn was probably not thinking about "agape love", but she is on point. Because "agape love" focuses on what I ought to do or give. That is how Jesus loves.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”"

(John 13.34-35 ESV)
