Sometimes the spell breaks. Our ability to love what we want to love falls flat and we find ourselves insufficient to persevere in what we prefer. Our love finds its limit. It reaches terminal velocity and we cannot eclipse our constraints or sustain our max effort any longer. Our confidence fails us and we find ourselves discouraged. The love of Jesus has not let us down, but our love of our love for Jesus has. Sometimes what looks like humility is merely wounded pride. Sometimes the spell is broken, but the self-love potion is still right at hand.
