Love!

Love in most quarters is believed to be a feeling that is deep and usually unexplainable. Novels and films give us the impression it is intoxicating, irresistible and uncontrollable.
Some don’t believe it exist at all, they think it’s a fiction or fantasy for they‘ve never experienced it.
Love, I believe is more than a feeling. I see it as knowledge of acceptance in spite of one’s weaknesses. This knowledge could manifest in a sweet feeling and longing to be with the one towards whom or from whom we notice this acceptance.
The fact is that no one ever feels complete without love, but we look in the wrong places for love. We look to people who themselves know little or nothing about love. True love is found ONLY in the person of Jesus because He is the expression of God’s love for us. The scripture says God is love [1Jn4:8] and this love He expressed to us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us [Rom.5:6].In this, God showed us acceptance in spite of our sins. It is impossible for any one that has not accepted this great love to express love to another [1Jn4:8, 16]
MY SUBMISSION love is a decision you have to make, first to accept the love of God, also to accept others in spite of their shortcomings.
