First, I want to start by saying that I never had intentions on writing this second part this far away from Valentines Day....But we all know that God's Plans are different than ours...I fully believe He intended for me to write this now and not then...
Now that we got that explanation out of the way, we will move on to the meat of this post...
Love Is...
Stop right now and ask yourself what exactly is Love?
How exactly would you define Love?
Love is defined as - "An intense feeling of deep affection"
Some of the synonyms of the word Love are - deep affection, fondness, tenderness, warmth, intimacy, attachment, endearment.
Sounds like to me that Love is a pretty intense word. When we tell someone that we love them, we are not telling them this just to hear ourselves speak. We are letting this person know that they stand in a very high regard inside our hearts and that there isn't anything that we wouldn't do for them....am I correct in describing what it means in us when we tell someone that we love them?
We we try to love someone that rejects us....this becomes harder than ever...am I correct? Lets say that you are loving someone who just doesn't seem to have the same feelings for you or who you are or what you are trying to give them...Our bodies ache for the approval that comes from the relief of not being rejected...we want to be loved by the person we are pouring our hearts out for...and yet the love never comes..... or it comes too late?
This is how Jesus feels sometimes towards us. How many of us are having a bad day and instead of turning to the savior...we turn away. We look for relief in something or someone else. We reject the one who loves us past all of our thoughts and actions...His love is UNCONDITIONAL...there is no Card for membership to His love. It is always there - ready to be poured out freely to us...and yet we still turn away.
Today is Easter, (well it was when I started writing this blog post...LOL), and we celebrate His Resurrection, but why did He go to die in the first place? Why did Jesus freely give His life for us in the midst of our horrible sin filled lives? He loved us that much...He wanted to DIE for us long before we came around Just to show us exactly what love is...
Remember I asked you to define Love....Its simple...Its Jesus....Its being Jesus to those who need it or don't need it...Its taking Jesus to the broken hearted and sharing Him with them...It's simply loving each person just as Jesus does!
