On life and love.

I think about this a lot:

Our imitation of God in this life must be an imitation of God incarnate: our model is the Jesus, not only of Calvary, but of the workshop, the roads, the crowds, the clamorous demands and surly oppositions, the lack of all peace and privacy, the interruptions. For this, so strangely unlike anything we can contribute to the Divine life in itself, is apparently not only like, but is, the Divine life operating under human conditions.
-CS Lewis, The Four Loves

Living a life that expresses our sonship, inheritance and experience with the Holy God means we read the Gospels and do everything God said and did when He moved into our neighborhood. This type of life, devoted to servanthood, compassion, justice and mercy may seem very unremarkable to the average, temporary eye, but the otherworldly love that propels each of these small, seemingly insignificant actions will move with an inexpressible, invisible force that the momentum will draw all attention to the compulsion that drives us: that is, Christ Himself.
So, let's do that.
