John 13:1-17: Love is not an emotion. It is an action. And the stage for the action of love isn't in the human heart or the mind of God. It's in the daily grind of living on this dirty planet. The promptings for love don't come from some mysterious emotion; the promptings come from basic human needs. People get dirty feet and love washes them. People get sick and someone sends them a letter. Love expresses itself not in grand gestures of heroic proportion, but in menial renderings of humble service.
