Agape seeks and demands nothing for itself because it lives - TopicsExpress



          

Agape seeks and demands nothing for itself because it lives completely in the object of its love. It knows nothing of rights, for its nature is to find its happiness in giving. Vanity and envy are beneath it, therefore it can never be made harsh , never be thrown into excitement, never be provoked to bitterness. Agape sees the essential nature and potentialities of the other one; thus it does not take into account what may still be evil in him. Yet it has nothing to do with injustice. It concentrates its joy completely on the real, the genuine, the true in the soul of the other person. (By : Eberhard Arnold a testimony to church community from his life and writings, page 36.)
