What is it about love?...
I'm old enough to see how the effects of loving your mate leads to happiness,
and also how the choice of loving alcohol can separate marriages.
Why is love so easily tossed sofluidly between eternal happiness
and the effects of a broken life?
the childhood pitter patter of
valentines day to the love that
tries to get something...
which isn't love at all, ever.
I think it's funny how no matter
where we are or what we are
doing, we are choosing to love
someone or something, even if it's ourselves.But it's still the fact that the word "love"
easily describes them all, no matter where
we are in our life or what we are
choosing to love, weather it be item or
person, we are choosing to love
whatever "it" is.

I'm sick of people saying "Jesus loves you"
when what they are really trying to say is...
"Jesus can help you, I have no idea what to do" or,
"Come to church, that's what you need" or even,
"I'm trying to fix you"
Notice the word love is NOT in any of those quoted
sentences? that's because there is no love involved, it's just a feeble attempt to be the "savior" of others when that's NOT YOUR JOB! It's God's job through us, let me explain...
You see... Love is a very interesting thing...
Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
1 Corinthians 8:3
But whoever loves God is known by God.
Colossians 2:2
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,
1 John 2:5
But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
It's hard for me to live without loving, but it has never been for the soul purpose for personal gain, but His! the painful part about it is there are real incredible people out there who legitimately love others, and make Him known, but they get beaten up by the world and spit out that think that love is weakness. How can that be a weakness? if "God is love" than it SHOULD be something we exercise and protect, like the beating heart behind our ribs! It's precious and uses are beginning to be seen more and more as people begin to use that gift called "love". Especially in a newer movie called "Furious Love" that you may be able to get your hands on. it's powerful. (Parents watch before letting your teens watch it)
It's a funny thing about love,
how you can love everything or something or someone, but never know who it was that gave you the capacity for it. Chalk it up to carnal nature to simply procreate, or even the need for human interaction or friendship, but you need to realize one thing.
1. Every time you have read the word love, God loves YOU, the reader of this cute blog, He chooses you over the sin you choose, and is knocking at your heart to let Him in. Have you? Will you? It's your choice.
God doesn't send people to hell, our own sin does.
