"To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is divine." - Anonynous
John 3:16 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Life is about interpretations, little wonder an adage says, "One man's meat is another man's poison." Well true, but there are few things in life that are so glaring and have almost the same meaning to everyone. One of such is love. Even one that is blind can recognize and interpret love when it's shown to him. But you see, the matter now is learning what true love is and what it isn't. You see, true love has got a lot of counterfeits among which the human love is the foremost. The human kind of love is the natural love. It is a kind of love that isn't connected to the Source; a love which only demonstrates itself for a reason and does all it does because it's expecting a return. Today's opening verse shows us that God loved us with the intention of upgrading us, not of satisfying some selfish motive. God was not looking for something from us in return.
It is imperative to know at this juncture that there exist a thin line between human love and hatred. This so happens fast, like in a twinkle of an eye when the frail human love is refused or denied. When human love thinks it's giving out much without being noticed, it withdraws like a snail that goes back into its shell. The human kind of love naturally wants to give out because it wants to get something in return. But true love is different. It's the love that no man can know and express without a genuine connection with the Source. This kind of love is the real deal. It's the greatest force, far greater than any force you know and/or can imagine. This true love does awesome things in and through the life of it's carrier. It can solve any problem in the world today from political to economical, to financial, and to marital problems and family issues. One way sure to obtain this divine love is having a relationship with the Source, the God of all the earth,.
You may be wondering how you can ever get to love this way without a reason. That wonder will disappear when you know and receive God's love shown to you. You can love your partner/spouse, your parents or a family member, a friend and even the bully in your school, when you know the source of this awesome force called true love. A relationship with God through believing in His Son, Jesus Christ, is all you need to get started. When you believe in His Son, God's nature will be transferred into your heart. True love will start flowing without stress. For those of you who have been into relationship with God for sometime and you notice it appears you're not really walking in this true love as you should, then this is what you have to do: Keep yourself in the love of God. Exercise this in prayers, communing with the Holy Spirit, feeding on and living out God's word. You will suddenly start making tremendous leaps of success unconsciously.
I love you all.
Keep Loving, Keep Living..............LOVE ISSUES
