LOVE'S CERTAINTY

" No one walks in love by chance, it is by choice. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. And no one 'falls out of love' by chance, it is by choice." - Bibi


1 Cor 13:4-7 (NIV)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


Over the past one year of my being dedicated to the study and learning of what true love really is, I make bold to say that I can easily tell after hearing or reading a quote/statement if such really speaks of true love or if it misplaces its priorities and presents romantic love (lust, infatuation or the feelings of love) as true love. The subject of love is one that almost every human is very open to and the possibility of getting it wrong is high, Hence the need to really get it right. It is no doubt that what you commit yourself to hearing or listening to forms a part of you. Likewise what you believe in is what works for you. When it comes to true love, it's good you read about it, listen to teachings centred on true love and believe in it but beyond all these, you need to embrace the wisdom it gives you and live by it.

For love to reign in a relationship, it has got to be by choosing to love, by making multiple decisions to follow the path of love, by making up your mind again and again to play by the rules of love, come what may. It may take some time for love to work up this knowledge and attitude in you concerning your partner but it will all happen so fast, it will look like everything happened yesterday (I encourage you to follow LOVE ISSUES daily and you won't know how but you'll be completely transformed into a practical love being). Also you should know that after choosing to plug into love, it takes work to continue in love. Yes, true love is work. But it's not the kind of work that wears you out and leaves you fatigued. It's the kind if love that revitalizes and refreshes you to do more with its power. The more you walk in true love, the more you want to walk in it. True love is an undying commitment to treat the other person better than they deserve. It's the kind of commitment Christ shows to us. This should be our pattern and model, for He told us to love the way He loved us.

As the quote says, nothing just happens. Our choices affect things every single day and though we may not think this is true, the fact remains that where we find ourselves is really no accident at all. No matter what point your relationship/home is at right now, it can be made better through the deliberate choices we make. So, instead of deciding to not love and later you conclude that you don't know how you fell out of love, be the one who inspires love again in your marriage. Choose to love. For the unmarried, remember that you should not commit yourself to a relationship with someone if you know God won't approve of both of you getting married.

To the ladies, I drop a piece of advise for us all being also a lady and knowing how we can be when it comes to the matters of the heart, seeing we are emotional beings and the ones who can many times really make the difference. Encourage your man to really love God more than he loves you. If you're single, know that it is always better to desire and choose a real man who loves you more than you love him and who loves God more than he loves you. But how do you know a real man? It's simple. A real man loves and fears God. A real man seeks to please God more than he seeks to please you. A real man loves you and cares for you, not because of what he can get but because of what he can give. Since he loves and fears God he will not want to hurt you and will always consider how you will feel before making decisions. A real man has the characteristics of a true believer.
