The Bullet of Love: Thoughts from Martin De Haan, Part 1

Authentic love … God’s kind of love … is the only great reality of human existence. Martin De Haan hit a new note for me on the difference love makes in living. I had to pass it on!

“Life, some love it. Some hate it. Others sag along like a half-filled radial with a slow leak. How can some take a deep breath and seem to smell orange, apple or gardenia blossoms, while others sigh heavily almost as if to expel the stale weight of that same breath?

Some say it’s all in the circumstances. Others say love makes the difference. There might be something to the latter. Watch someone in love. Whether 14 or 74, whether wise man of fool, someone in love is different. His eyes are alive. He is energized. Each new day is an opportunity rather than a burden.”
