For those of us who still believe in true love, and for all my single friends traversing the landmines of today’s crazy dating world, this recent clip from Louis CK’s new comedy television series, “Louie,” shared by fellow saint and sinner Paul Dover, touched me.
In a moment of raw vulnerability with his platonic friend Pamela, Louie confesses his love for her.
I suppose the scene is also a metaphor for thinking about how God in Jesus loves us. I can think of nothing less risky or vulnerable than a God who comes to us in our own skin, gives us the freedom to say “that’s nice but I’m not interested,” and even lets us crucify Him over and over again.
