But the truth is, love says we’re free to do a lot more than we think. We can love more people, we can trust God more, and we can risk more. If we find ourselves considering others more important than ourselves, serving in secret, or loving without an agenda, then chances are, it’s love doing the talking. If we’re backing away from opportunities because we’re not sure they will work, hedging on our love, and risking little in our relationships, fear might have the microphone. The trick is to figure out who’s doing the talking before we decide what to do next.
