Love that creates value.

The world has such unreasonable standards of what makes a person beautiful, valuable or loveable. Those who are disabled or old or chronically ill are too often categorized has having no value, even being a burden. We can change what the world perceives about the person we are caring for when we love them, not BECAUSE they are beautiful or special, but with a kind of love that MAKES them beautiful and special.

“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 (NIV)
