The Exchange of Love, Pt. 3

...so as I bring these few thoughts to conclusion, here is what I have recognized: that what we are seeing in my generation is our recognition of God's love for us is causing us, in return, to radically respond with our love. This relationship is not one-sided, it is an exchange of love.
I believe that this will mark my generation. Bored and disenchanted with only theology and doctrine but come alive by Love's intense pursuit. C.S. Lewis once spoke of theology being like a map of the sea, but you can't mistake that for the sea itself. Our study of God and His ways were designed to accompany us while we are on the sea, not the shore.
I'm on the ocean, with my map, with love as the vessel and grace in the waters, the Holy Spirit hovering over the deep, diving into water that I can breathe in, finding in the depths His passion and fury and intensity that overwhelms me. This is where I want to be. This is where I will live.
