Captivate.
Think about the energy it takes to get someone's full attention. To fully captivate them. To draw someone in and convince them you are worth loving. To not only convince them to love you at first sight but to convince them that you are worth loving forever. To not have to manipulate them in to loving you but that your actions alone would be enough. What kind of action would that take in today's world? What would that even look like? For a human to convince another human of an unconditional love? We are a rotten culture. We see it, we get it. We want love and acceptance, we act a certain way, dress a certain way or even fib a little to gain their love. No one in history has ever been able to captivate others with their actions alone. No one in history has ever been able to gain and keep love from others without manipulation and sin. No one but Jesus. He gave it all for us. To be completely captivated by His love is a gift. To feel His love, knowing it's pure nature, is overwhelming. It's a beautiful love that is personal. It's not a generic love...it's a personal individualized love for each one of His children. It's a love that is captivating and all consuming.
