"Love is rare, life is unpredictable. Nothing lasts forever and people change. So, live every moment to its fullest." - Anonymous
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Today's quote caught my attention and I so love it because it mentions three of the most important things: love, life and change. It's a pretty sad thing that true love is rare today. That wasn't how God intended it to be. You see, life should be all about love. This is how God designed us to live. God's original plan was that every man living on the surface of the earth would be driven by love as the motive for doing whatever he does. Just like it is in heaven, God intended that we'll live in the atmosphere of love here on earth. When God made man, He breathed life into him. God planned that we live in connection with Him. Remember God is love. In other words, Love made man and and gave man life. We were fashioned to live in love. When this love connection is lost, man is as good as dead. Humans were created to express love.
The term 'love' has been abused in the world in which we live, so much so, that lots of people no longer even know what God truly meant that love would be. The enemy has counterfeited love and made many embrace a lie and because this counterfeit love cannot deliver the true rewards of love, many people have given up on love, saying that love is no use. But what they embraced was never love in the first place. This is why I like to use the expression 'true love' many times because only that which comes from God almighty, is true. We need to bring people back to God's way of doing things. Romantic love is God's idea and it has its place in the plan of God but mankind has misused, abused and misrepresented what God designed for a noble purpose. It's time to return to God's purpose and God's design. We were born to live in love. So, let's give ourselves to love and let's use it as God intended. One sure way to enjoy life is to love others without necessarily expecting anything in return. A life that has its footing in this attitude will shine brighter and brighter.
Now to change. It is said that change is the only constant thing in life but I stand to disagree. I believe that love is more constant than change. Love was before the world existed. Love is the greatest thing that is in existence today and love will always be for eternity. Love will never change in it's relevance. God is love and because God is ever constant, love is ever constant. Knowing this, we can demonstrate consistency in our love. People will change but your love can stay constant.. Your wife can become bigger but your love for her shouldn't change. Your husband could grow weaker but your love shouldn't change. Your friend may grow distant but your love should be as it has always been. If at all love should change, like today's verse says, it should get better and stronger as you keep seeing the glory of God. Your love and mine should move from one level of glory to a higher level of glory.
Keep Loving, Keep Living...................LOVE ISSUES
