What love actually does looks different in the many lives with our many make ups. Love is seen in action. I know this much is true.
Do you think that friendships are becoming more obsolete due to social media? I think it's becoming harder for our love to do when we are forming habits of clicking a button with a thumb sticking up.
"Liking" a friends status masquerades what love can do when you look into the eyes of a friend and listen to what is going on in their lives. I think what is actually happening when we scroll through our news feed is choosing what our preferred content is to digest. In friendship, the listener isn't in control. They are residing in a sacrificial, loving posture of listening. Listeners are passengers. By contrast, scrolling makes us the driver.
Conversations need to be taking place between friends. Unscreened by caller i.d., unannounced at my house and not in a position of control or power via text.
My love is going to do friendship. If you get a call from me or I show up, let's hang out and try it the old-fashioned way!
