\"\"<\/a>When Bonnie first met Liz she was in awe. Never before had she known anyone so much in love as her new friend. Great big love! Not the kind of \u201cBig Love\u201d hijacked by HBO for a T.V. show. But big love as in feeling it grow stronger every day, can\u2019t stop thinking about it, doesn\u2019t stop talking about it \u2013 that kind of love.<\/p>\n

It started slowly for Liz. A little spark of something\u2026not too much. No lightening bolt, no epiphany. She simply knew she loved Him. Their love responds to mutual kindness. She goes out of her way to do something unexpected for Him. He showers her with gifts. Their conversations are always honest, respectful, and they avoid petty topics. They really listen to each other. They care deeply about one another. With every breath, it seems Liz loves Him more.<\/p>\n

Bonnie heard something about love on the radio that stuck with her: \u201cThe opposite of love is not hate, it\u2019s indifference.<\/em>\u201d When she watches Liz in love, the meaning becomes clear. Every aspect of the love Liz has, is bubbling over in passion. There isn\u2019t a drop of indifference between them. Every time she ties her shoe, He is there. She is the center of His universe and He is the center of hers. He is on her lips and in her heart every second of the day.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how it works. When you love God like Liz does, you\u2019re passionate. You act with kindness, you converse gently. Bonnie is learning to love by following her friend\u2019s example. She prays for a big love of her own. She\u2019s working on making it happen.<\/p>\n
