This is Love
by

You’re running through supple luscious ever green grass with thousands
of yellow heads watching you. The heads of daisies seem to be singing with the birds, a song of sensational love. The sun smiles down as you enter into the arms of the one you love. A fresh playful breeze brushes past as you for a moment become one with another.
This is Love
Or not! That’s just like those predictable “love” movies that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The
question is: what happens 5 to 10 years down the line? Are they still in the same field of daisies or are they now running through the valley of pain and hurt or maybe even death? Is the above real love or could it be the commercialized love sold to us by the western world, the same world which has made love so cliché.
The western world has molested the meaning of love and then the sold it to the rest of the world. They have made “love” to look like a harlot, selling herself on every street corner. We use this harlot as an excuse to do what we please. Boys claim false love to have sex with their girlfriends and now we
search for the cure for AIDS. Girls want to fall in love and get married, just like in those wonderful “love” movies and we ask ourselves why the divorce rate is so high.
This is the Love of the world, a harlot
What was love before it’s was abused and molested or should we ask what true love is? I know the answer to this question and I would love to share it with you. However, when you read and receive what I know is true love; you should research and ask your own question. Don’t believe me or write me off because of what I or someone else tells you. You need to question and find your answer. Let me tell you, just as 1+1 has only one answer (2), there is only one truth, one love. If you are sincere with your search, you will find the same love I have found.
When I think of an answer to the question, I think of a few lines from a well known book:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it sis not self-seeking, it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails!”
This love described above sounds so amazing, but who could love like that? I know someone who loves someone else so much; he gave up his life so that the other could live. This other spat in his face, rejected him and indirectly caused his death, but he still loved that person enough to die for the person.
Sacrifice is the best demonstration of love. In the story above, the person that died is Jesus Christ and he loves you and me so much that he gave up his own life for us. He knew what we would do in our lives, but he waits patiently for us to love him. When we love him back he forgives and forgets wrong we have done.
This love that God gave us is the only way to love. In relationships, you must think of the other person before you think of yourself.
LOVE IS NOT A FEELING!!!! LOVE IS A COMMITMENT!!!!
It’s a decision you choose to make everyday, that you will remain faithful to your partner, just as Christ remains faithful to you and I.
Love will never be a feeling, but there are those warm fuzzy feeling that come out from a relationship when there is the presents of true love.
Search for the true love. I found it and I call it Jesus Christ. He is Love
