I am currently reading "Mountains of Spices" the sequel to the ever-famous book "Hinds Feet on High Places" (which I read years ago, and only vaguely remember....)
This book is *an allegory about human weakness and strengths comparing the spices in the Song of Solomon to the fruits of the Spirit* (taken off the cover)
I came across this part in the book and just though it was a great picture of the True King's Love.....
"I am love," said the King very clearly. "If you want to see the pattern of true love, look at me, for I am the expression of the law of love on which the universe is founded. And the very first characteristic of true love, as I have manifested it, is willingness to accept all other human beings, just as they are, however blemish and marred by sin as they may be, and to acknowledge oneness with them in their sin and need. To acknowledge also that every human heart needs both to love and to be loved, and that herein lies the very root of the oneness of mankind." p.46
