Love
Love is a loaded word. When I think of love, I think of patience, not giving up on another person, selflessness, sacrifice, thoughtfulness and a host of other things. It's action!
When I look at love, the biggest display of love for me came through Christ. God knows me from the inside out and still loves me. He calls me His Beloved. Jesus loved me (and the world) so much that He died to save us. Save us from what? Our sins and ultimately hell.
Society as a whole has turned love into something totally different from it's true meaning. We "love" so many things: our car, our phone, our new hairdo, etc. I mean, I guess we could love those things but when it comes down to it, would we give up our lives for our car if someone tried to rob us of it? Would we lay down our lives for our phone, if someone tried to jack it from us? Probably not.
I could say "I love you" but would it mean anything if I didn't show it through some sort of giving up of myself? Probably not.
How would you define love?
From my heart to yours,
Mrs. M
