LOVE'S PERSUASION

He loves me... He loves me not... True love is not a guesswork, its a sure word. It's the most genuine quality, an unbreakable promise." - Bibi


Romans 8:38-39 (NKJV)
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth,nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


I remember that when I was much younger I watched a couple of movies that had scenes of a girl wanting to know the fate of the crush she shared with the opposite sex merely by plucking off the petals of a flower. As she plucked one off she'd say, "He loves me" and plucking the another one, she'd say "He loves me not." On and on she'd go until she came to the last petal on the flower, and then she accepted whatever she had left to say as the fate of the relationship. Funnily, this has continued today even among adults, though not exactly the same way. Many people today look out for signs such as actions or gestures from the opposite sex and they say to themselves, "If he/she really loves me, I would tell by the way he/she does this or that" and on and on they go,

Dear friend, I want to draw your attention to the opening verse. Paul having had an understanding of the nature of God which is True Love, tells us that no matter what we face or do, provided we have come to accept God's love for us in the person of His dear Son, Christ Jesus, His love will never be taken away or cut short. He will always stay committed to this relationship we have with Him. God's love does not fluctuate. Now I think that's just amazing! Unfortunately though, some of us draw back from Him when we have done something wrong saying we are not worthy of His love, forgetting His love is unconditional.

The love shared between the man and the woman in a relationship/marriage should be this way, unconditional, especially that which flows from the man. If it's not, then there would be problems. Change is inevitable in life. The feelings we have and translate to love when we're in such an emotional high with someone may not always be constant. Ladies, until you can say that his love for you is as the Father's love, you cannot rest assured that he loves you. True love is not necessarily in his/her signs and signals but in the devoted dedication and commitment (from a conviction) toward you. If a person loves you unconditionally, then like Paul you can be persuaded that the love will not change.


Keep Loving, Keep Living...........LOVE ISSUES.
