Love requires us to be still and take joy in the goodness of this moment. And if we are not our own but belong to Christ, that’s exactly what we are free to do. You don’t have to prove anything. You don’t have to acquire more. You don’t have to weigh your options and consider what you might be missing out on. You are free to be present and attend to the gift in front of you whether it’s your spouse, your child, a song, a pleasant talk with a friend, or the wind in the trees.
