But agape fixes itself on those the world would regard as unworthy. It has eyes for the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind. Agape looks beyond what is typically valued as “lovable,” and determines to love the unlovable even at great personal cost. It is most purely expressed when we give it to those from whom we have nothing to gain. When we show love to those who can do nothing for us, we reflect the love of God shown to us in Christ.
