loving with knowledge and discernment

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, so that you can approve the things that are superior and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ, Philippians 1:9‭-‬10 HCSB

Have you ever thought of love having knowledge and discernment? This is a challenging concept. This is not a drifting, go with the flow  concept, it involved intention, thoughtfulness and work.

How do I work at refining my love? I choose to make it a subject of study and consideration. Mostly, we consider it a feeling we experience. 

A parent disciplines the child out of love, knowing that the best they can do for their child is lovingly reprove them. It hurts the parent as much as the child, but the results are the best.

Our Heavenly Father applies loving discipline to our lives much the same. We do not always understand until it is over.

So then, the challenge today is to think about love in this light, how can I improve my love?
