S ~ His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman. Genesis 34:3
O ~ This is such a contradiction - he has just forced himself upon Dinah and violated her - then he 'loves' her and speaks kindly to her. What a crock! Love does not act like this. He was selfish, and still is selfish as he simply wants her as his wife; not caring for her. This is so very sad for Dinah - what incredible sorrow.
A ~ It is so important to remember that love is about what can be given, not what can be taken. For God so loved He gave, not took. Our actions must match our words.
P ~ God, help me to be kind to people in word and action; may my life line up with my words.
