From Like to Love

When cartoonist Charles Schulz dined in the home of a friend, the host remarked that he needed to set off his dinner jacket. He disappeared and returned a few minutes with a heavy chain from which a medallion hung, and across the face of the medallion were the letters “love.”

Schultz fingered it for a few minutes and then handed it back. With a wry “Charley Brown” smile on his face, he said, “It’s just too hard for me. Do you have one that says, LIKE?”

In his honesty, Schultz pointed out an important truth. No matter how necessary it is, love is not easy. Only God can really turn our “likes” to “loves” by the help of Grace and Faith.
