Hi Bob ~~ A quote from my Sunday School lesson this morning for my 1st and 2nd graders on understanding...
ReplyDeleteThe memory verse was
"Help me understand Your instruction, and I will obey it!"
Psalm 119:34

"Where there is no extravagance there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding."
ReplyDeleteI understand the second part - there is no understanding without love (or tolerance).
I don't understand the first part, that there is no love without extravagance.
Can you explain?
Might have to ask Mr Wilde what he meant Joe. Of course, I do find extravagance in the mundane faithful acts of love.. extravagance does not always mean fireworks to me.
