"What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like." - Augustine

1 John 3:17 (OEBus)
But, if anyone has worldly possessions, and yet looks on while one of our own is in need, and steels their heart against that person, how can it be said that the love of God is within them?

She met him on her way to work few days back. She noticed he had a very good sense of humour as he made her and others around feel their ribs crack. She felt really drawn to him and started having strong feelings of attraction towards him. On the other hand, he was doing all he could to keep her feelings for him aflame. Soon enough they went on a date. Before long she started noticing some rudeness in his attitude but she disregarded it. He would often be rude to a motorists but she didn't count that as anything. On a date one day, he beckoned on the waiter from where they sat to help with the menu. As the waiter approached their table, the waiter mistakenly stepped on his shoes, " Are you out of your mind?", he yelled. "Do you have any idea how much these Gucci shoes cost me? Or are you blind?" He went on and on until the waiter felt really embarrassed. Shocked at his behaviour, she concluded she'll never set her eyes on him again.

A lot of people are too quick to "fall in love" or better still, fall in lust. They make conclusions just by mere seeing the outward appearance of the other person. They even say as long as he or she meets tgheir criteria (which of course are most times all based on the physical), they would be ready to live with what ever. I honestly know that's an awful approach. Being in a relationship or being married is all about being happy and honestly feeling fulfilled. If happiness is scarce in the relationship, then there's no point being in the relationship. One good sign that helps yuou identify one who can love you truly is in how they treat others. The way they treat others is a prophecy of how they'll eventually treat you. You should especially take note of how they treat people they have no business with. If they show respect and value those people as if a friendship exists between them, that's a good sign. How about the way they treat total strangers? How do they address the less privileged? Do they insist what they want is what must happen or do they give preference to other people?

You see, it matters how we respond to other people especially those in need. The love of God in our lives can be seen. This happens when we share what we have with those in need, especially with fellow believers in Jesus Christ. If you're not a giver, if you're not generous to the needs of others, if you find it difficult to share the things you have, then you are yet to understand what love is. Love is kind. Love is excited when things go well with others. Love will do whatever it can to see other people progress. God is very much interested in the way we treat other people around us who are in need. He's concerned about whether or not we are merciful towards them. It matters to Him whether or not their cry means anything to us. Love still is the greatest force in this universe and beyond. It's the most relevant asset in all the universe. It's never late for you to embrace this truth about love and to start living it out. By so doing you attract the best into your life now and in eternity but much more, you create for yourself the best love life you could ever have asked for.

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