Love is, willing the good of what is loved -Dallas Willard.
In order to love we have to be transformed from the inside
out, where loving becomes the natural act we do. This is
accomplished thru apprenticeship to Jesus, as Dallas states
so well again, "Discipleship is the process thru which the
character of Christ becomes the settled or habitual patterns
of our actions", and this comes thru training not trying,
training to love God and others. This is where the soul training
(spiritual disciplines) exercises come in to play. As we take
on the character of The Messiah, we love naturally.
