Sorry, Joe, but you completely missed my point.  Please reread the base note.
Agape love is *not* an emotion.  Emotions change.  God doesn't.  His love for
us doesn't.  Read the definition of agape love given in I Corinthians 13.  If
you can produce this *kind* of love on your own, then I commend you.

My point was that I have no love more powerful than emotional love except when
God gives me His love.  My love isn't enough.  My wife and daughter need more.
God uses me (when I let Him) to meet their need by giving me His love for
them.  And He offers His love to all who need it.  If you think you don't
need His love, then don't ask for it.  But please don't condemn me for asking.
I need it.

If you'd like to continue this discussion, I recommend we either do it by mail
or move it to net.religion.
