Love is a great topic when thinking about the Bible and I know it has been talked about a bit, but I just remembered in the Slave when Jacob is talking about God and his love for his people.
"A father may carry his child, but he wishes the infant to learn to walk by itself. God was our Father, we His children, and He loved us. He blessed us with His mercy, and if now and again He let us slip and fall, it was to accustom us to walking alone."
This is how I like to think parents are. They watch and help when we really need it, but they really just want you to succeed on your own. To learn to walk with head held high by yourself. But it is the way Jacob talks about his love for Wanda that fills the need for romantic love.
"Gold mingled with blue, green with purple, and, out of this whirlpool of color, Wanda's image formed."
Such beautiful language is used throughout both these books, it is nearly impossible not to love them both.
And love is such a universal topic that everyone can relate to it in some way or another.
I guess I just wanted to give props to Lisette's blog on love.
Gotta love love!
