I Believe In Love

in #love6 years ago

John 15:13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Yes, I know Love has been talked about a billion times
Briefly, let’s make it a billion and one

True love is more than just attachment
It is more than just romance
It is more than carnal desire

True Love is not about what you receive. But rather, it’s what you give.
You Love those to whom you give
You invest yourself, your time, your energy into those you Love

So often today’s Love is a means of gratifying one’s self
It is an act of taking, an act of controlling

So, how do we truly love another or even truly Love ourselves?
There are many answers to that.
But simply, it starts with Loving God.
And we Love God by following his commandments.

Love God. Love Each Other.
Amen

1 John 4:19 Therefore we shall Love because He first Loved us.

Providing non-detrimental pleasure to another is love. - Lord RayEl

People often mistake love- an action- for it's byproduct- an emotion. One must come before the other, not after, but both keep the wheel turning.
