I couldn't let February be gone without my contribution and opinion on Love! I've been married and divorced three times, so that should give me some degree of authority on the subject...or not! I was once told by a man that I highly respect that I could certainly tell others what not to do. I have learned a lot and I'd like to share some of my sweet tidbits!
One of the first things I learned about love is that we don't have a good definition of what it is or what it means! It can be a noun or a verb. In other languages they have more than one word for love that describes it with greater meaning. Ancient Greek has the words philia or phileo, eros, agape, and storge. These cover love of parent and child; friendship love; sensual love; love of things; love of ambitions and pure unconditional love, like God.
Is it love or lust?
LOVE
What
exactly is love? Do you really
love? How do you know if it’s love that
you feel?
It is not an emotion; it is a characteristic! Love is permanent! GOD is the Source and the expression of LOVE!
GOD IS LOVE. - Check out I John in His Word - it's found at the end of the Bible; I John, II John, III John, Jude, Revelation .
Love always wants what’s best for the other person! Love provides, protects and keeps promises. Keep this is mind because it applies with
humans and God.
“I love you! Now; tomorrow;
forever…even if you don’t love me back! I will wait! Love never ends!"
I Corinthians 13
describes Love. See if it fits your description. It is recommended that couples read this together and then pray together every night for the first six weeks of their marriage and they will have established a lasting foundation.
The Greatest Love was demonstrated by Jesus – unselfish;
unconditional; for God’s glory!
Without God’s Love, you and I cannot love!
Jesus said: “Love one another.”
He said to Peter: “Peter,
do you love Me? Feed My sheep!” His sheep would become His Body!
When we love one another, we love Him and He loves us!!
Love Is Forever!
LUST ~ A ravenous desire for something or someone
Lust always wants NOW! Lust is always temporary (“I don’t love you anymore!” “I need something better!”)
Lust is totally
self-centered. Lust is never content or
satisfied…it always wants more. Lust gets what it wants by any means. Lust always finds fault and is conditional love. ("I'll love you, if you....!")
It’s mine, what will you do for it!
It’s yours, I want it; give it to me!
Life's
Only
Valuable
Experience
