I will repeat myself in the post in accordance with my last entry, so please try and excuse it. I hardly scratched the surface of love, so I would like to go deeper in this post.
As I established in my last post, love is not twitterpation.
Love is not selfish.
Love does not envy
Love is not sex
Love is not proud
Love is not they way you look
The world does not know what love is. The world does not know what commitment is.
The world does not know what restraint is. The world does not know what "Until death do us part" means. This world knows nothing about good.
It disgusts me to no end, I have been seeing it on T.V. and people actually write books that are considered great books that help your marriage, women have become so insecure that their philosophy has become "oh just let them stare at other women, and cheat on me. It’s in their nature, they are men they can’t help but be lustful." This is what our society is today, a society of compromise and settling for less. What happened to strong men? I do not believe for a second that men are programmed to cheat and lust no matter what you do. As I am sure those women do not either, they are just so insecure and messed up from society that they have to rationalize their husbands staring at other women.
That right there is obviously not a relationship based on love. That describes a selfish, lustful relationship that does not practice self-control.
A real man or woman practices restraint 24/7! 1 Corinthians 6:12
God clearly states that Self-control is important, if you do not practice it, you are in sin. It’s the same principle with drinking. I have no problem with people drinking here and there but if you get drunk that’s when you sin, because you are losing control over yourself.
Now on to the question of
Love is Jesus
Love is Patient
Love us Kind
Love is about being selfless and sacrificing your pride everyday. It’s about being patient and listening. Love is about being kind in everything you do. This doesn’t only mean marriages but also friendships.
The thing about people is we are selfish, we always want to have the last word in, we always want to talk about us, and we never want to listen to our friends or spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend.
Jesus was selfless, he never thought of himself. This is how we should be! That is "True Love."
I hate how we say that, There is only one kind of love! Any other kind is not love!
People mistake twitterpation for love. I cannot stress to you enough how important it is to distinguish between the two. Relying on gooshy little feelings will only break your heart. Also, another thing, I hear people say this all the time, "Love stinks, I hate it!" No, love does not stink. Selfishness, pride, and envy stink! Don’t mistake selfish twitterpation with love.
We as Christians are never to stop growing in the Lord, meaning, we are to constantly be shedding the gunk of this world off of us. We are to constantly be ridding ourself of impurities and renew our minds into the likeness of Christ. The more that we do that the more we will mature and become selfless, humble, patient, kind and everything God wants us to be!
If you have trouble getting an image of selfless love read Matthew, Mark and Luke. Jesus himself was perfect love!
1 Corinthians 13:4 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
