Bold Love

Me:  That is bold getting that close to the vulture.

Prodigal:  There is no fear at the moment.

Me:  That is boldness!

This is from the book  Bold Love by Dr. Dan B. Allender and Dr. Tremper Longman III

Bold love is not reckless or cruel.  It is not beating up another in the name of sharing or intervention.  Bold love is courageously setting aside our personal agenda to move humbly into the world of others with their well-being in view, willing to risk further pain in our souls, in order to be an aroma of life to some and an aroma of death to others.  Boldly loving another with the energy of Christ (Colossians 1:8-9)

We are very selfish.  Just think how you would rather serve and you would only serve when you get that recognition.  How about if you served and everyone ignored you, including the person who you served.  That is selfish when we serve only because we will get something in return.  How bold was Jesus love when He served and did not receive anything at all!

Mark 11:3

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this?  Say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

Jennifer Van Allen
