I know that a lot of people that are in relationships nowadays sometimes feel that showing the other person you love them is by having sex. Hence the phrase "let's make love." However, though sexual desires maybe strong plus something that God gave us, needs to remain in context. You see though you may feel strong towards an individual we have to be careful that we don't just say things because they sound good. Webster's definition of love that stood out to me is: a sexual passion or desire. There were many others, but this is how the world sees love. Now after the sex then what? If there's nothing more than just that, then I guarantee that this particular relationship WILL FAIL! Love according to the Scriptures is way more than just feelings, its also about ACTIONS! Ex.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) 4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
The perfect love is the love of God towards His sons. Our Father has us constantly on His mind and in everything that He seeks to get done on this earth. He gave up His one and ONLY begotten Son.... (John 3:16) God is love. So if we're His people we need to be love also. We should start today by reminding people of the goodness we see in them and that God loves them. Let's start uplifting people, yes even when their being negative. Let's strive to show our compassion for EVERYONE not just those close to us! Jesus said even the heathens do that. Where's the challenge in that. Everybody is your brother and sister even the lost! We're here to show them the Way back home to Father. Saying come back to Father, there's plenty of...... at Father's house! So with that I want to say to my family, da Clique, friends, co-workers, and everyone. I love you!
