But as I meditate on the love I’ve experienced, examining how it shaped and reshaped me, even agapē seems not enough to explain it. I’ve also studied the Greek terms for love, especially the Greek word agapē which is supposed to be the highest expression of love-a pure, selfless, unconditional thing. I’ve thought about it a lot, and read about love and the meanings of love. Now, more than a year after hearing the hum of Amy’s last breath, I keep wondering why the pain of losing this love (at least here on this earth) has kept such a stranglehold on me for so long after she has died. Then, too soon, came the day when cancer took my wife’s body, set her spirit free, and left me behind sleepless and alone. You see, I have known great love, intimately, purposely, lavished on me with unwavering determination for 30 years, three months, and three days. When that happens, I usually pass the night trying to pray through questions I have about faith and life, and lately I’ve been praying about love. I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately (big surprise). Okay, now that I’ve written that out loud I realize it doesn’t make sense out of context, so let me go back a little bit. I’m beginning to think that love is not what it means. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” ( 1 John 4:16)
