David Wilkerson is the name of an American preacher who decided to live his life a bit differently from most others. Instead of watching the television for several hours every evening, he decided to spend the time with prayer and Bible reading. This leads to further action, and he is most famous for walking to the gang leader Nicky Cruz in the ghetto.

As he was speaking to Nicky Cruz, he was threatened several times, but after meeting one another on several occasions, Nicky Cruz decided to believe in Jesus and to follow him instead. David Wilkerson is also famous for giving his shoes to Nicky Cruz, and leaving the area barefoot after the incident.

What is this all about? Love isn't necessarily about something that you feel. Love is about taking action and doing something because you love. You don't have to feel it, but love is also a decision. When you get married, you decide to love someone. You will not feel it every day, but you have decided to stay next to your spouse in good days and bad days. That might sound easy on good days, but when the bad days come, you better stick to your decision and choose the love path, even if it doesn't feel good!

In other words, we need to demystify love. It isn't a cloud flying around choosing its victims... no, love is something that we do, possess, and give on to others!
