Love

Love. What does love means to you?

1Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us ..

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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. Love never fails."

This is the verse that best describe what love means! But does everyone take it as it is?

or maybe that's not what you think? Maybe you have a clearer idea about what is love?

Sometimes, many young people nowadays take 'love' differently. We christians take Love as how God tell us, but many other's don't.

They (others) can tell you all sorts of many reasonable excuses and explaination about love, but all they can do is just knowing how to talk, but never know how to love..
They loved the world so much, they did not know about the existent of God, and they take love as a material, selfish thingy..

Do you know anyone of them? If you do, i urge you to tell them what is the true meaning of love.

When we look around our peers, what saddened me most is to see them taking love as a selfish thought.. And when something goes wrong, they hated the person.

Some people, always pray God when God gave them blessings, but when God did not gave them any... they start to drift away and seek other as idols.

That is not the love that God meant. The love that God explained to us, is far more greater that everyone's thought of love..

Love is to be taken seriously... and there is no such thing as " i cant love that person anymore ".. If someone were to say that, then that person does not have the right to claim that he understands about love...

John 3:16, " for God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life "

For God so loved the 'world'.. God sacrifices his only son for the 'world'.. which means, even beggar on the streets, gangsters, politicians in the country, aggresive road bullies and everyone..

Even God can loved them and save them... How can one person says 'i cant love anymore' when is nothing compared to the person that God loved..

Love is not about ourselves, not about someone else.. But for only God alone. Because He created love and only him can tell us what it meant.. We love, because God tell us too~ Why? If we cant learn how to love one person.. how can we learn to love God?

Our time on earth is like a training ground.. Like army troops training in their base camp.

Why are we having training? Thats because God has prepared something better for us.. The more training, the better we get. And 'love' is part of the training...

Now do we get a clearer picture of what love means?
