Life Lessons: "Love"

Good Morning!

     After yesterday, I hope everyone had a chance to laugh or be the cause of merriment in your circle.  It will benefit you and others.  I do realize that many cannot express laughter when love is missing from there lives.  Love is a life lesson.  A man that can express love, show love, and give love unconditionally is as powerful as a man holding weapons on a battlefield.  One man can destroy with weapons physically and destroy spiritually with hate and defiling words but another can build, heal relationships and cause a chain reaction of goodness, happiness and self worth by loving the people in his life.

What is love?
Love is defined as:
1.
an intense feeling of deep affection
a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. 2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.


      Most of the time when the world defines love it is equated mostly to relationships.  The only thing is there is a thin line between love, lust, and hate.  Why is it that people fall in and  out of love?  Are they just basing love on a feeling and once the feeling is gone then I don't love you anymore?  Is that love , lust, or infatuation?  I've also heard that young girls you have loving strong, healthy  relationships with their fathers are more likely to not get pregnant before marriage and are less promiscuous?  Is that a fact or a myth or are the young ladies with good fathers experiencing real love and are less likely to fall for a quick imitation of love?
       What does the bible say about love?


How does the Bible define love?

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

New King James Version
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all
things

     For me, love is essential.  The decisions I make for my family is because I love them.  When I make bad decisions, and I have; I still have enough love in my heart to deal with it.  Many times men are so proud that we don't apologize when we are wrong.  Is that love?
    Today is a challenge for everyone to study the bible definition of love.  I guarantee it is not always the easiest thing to walk out but it is the most fulfilling for everyone connected to you . Love is not only a life lesson but it is imperative for Christians to have happy, productive, and fruitful lives.
