Love is the greatest gift a person could give and when I say Love, I mean real, undying, un-withholding , selfless love, not the warped definitions of Love people so often mistake it for. The google bar is just on top, I challenge you to enter "Love" or even "Love thy neighbour", even with strict filtering you get all sorts of lewd definitions/pictures of it. So what is love? Instead of tiring my fingers typing it out, why don't you just flip to 1 Corinthians 3:14? Today, my Love for God was just renewed. It only takes such a simple activity as singing songs to Him in your room and committing your life back to Him, surrendering all.
Only when you love God can you truly love others for who they are, images of Him. It's like looking into a portrait of your beloved, it's not perfect but it's there. Anyways, I could swear, you will want to hug every person on the street and tell them how much you and God loves them when you have the right love for God.
Why is it so hard to find true love in this world? Probably because people don't want it. The type of love people want is the love with "no strings attached" where they can get out of it when the going gets tough without making any sort of real commitment, yet they keep going on about how they want a love that LASTS, a love that is TRUE, a love that is bla bla bla so on and so forth. It's standing there in front of them but they do not accept it. That sort of Love can only be found in the open, nail-scarred arms of Jesus. Does this sound like you? Just look at any true Christian, they are always joyous(not in the retarded manner of course) in every circumstance, it is only because they have found true love.
Even in our relationship with God we can have a superficial love for Him. What is Love? how do we define it? It is forgiving when you are not forgiven, it is reaching out no matter how "unworthy" someone seems, it is helping even when you are despised, it is holding on even when it hurts, it is not giving up even when it brings you to tears, it is to cry with somebody who is hurting holding on to his/her hand, It is to give even when you have nothing left, it is to die for a friend the list continues. That is true love and it can only be perfectly found in Christ Jesus. It can only be given once it is received. This is the Love that I and so many others hold on to. Won't you accept this amazing Love?
