Sometimes we think of love as something portrayed in the movies. Sometimes we think of love as that beautiful feeling we get when we’re around that special person. Sometimes we think of love as a commitment. And sometimes we’re just confused. So what is love, really?
There are so many concepts of love
This entry is a repost of an e-mail I got from the CCF Singles group.
For all you people who say “I love you”
when you have no clue what exactly love is !!!
Something to ponder upon…
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing
and is your voice caught within your chest?
-It isn’t love, it’s LIKE.
You can’t keep your eyes or hands off of
them, am I right??
-It isn’t love, it’s LUST.
Are you proud, and eager to show them off??
-It isn’t love, it’s LUCK.
Do you want them because you know they’re
there??
-It isn’t love, it’s LONELINESS.
Are you there because it’s what everyone
wants??
-It isn’t love, it’S LOYALTY.
Are you there because they kissed you, or
held your hand??
-It isn’t love, it’s LOW CONFIDENCE.
Do you stay for their confessions of love,
because you don’t want to hurt them??
-It isn’t love, it’s PITY.
Do you belong to them because their sight
makes your heart skip a beat??
-It isn’t love, it’s INFATUATION.
Do you pardon their faults because you care
about them??
-It isn’t love, it’s FRIENDSHIP.
Do you tell them every day they are the only
one you think of??
-It isn’t love, it’s a LIE.
Are you willing to give all of your favorite
things for their sake??
-It isn’t love, it’s CHARITY.
Does your heart ache and break when they’re
sad??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Do you cry for their pain, even when they’re
strong??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch
your soul so deeply it hurts??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Do you stay because a blinding,
incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls
you close and holds you there??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Do you accept their faults because they’re a
part of who they are??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Are you attracted to others, but stay with them
faithfully without regret??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Would you give them your heart, your life, your
death??
-Then it’s LOVE.
Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life?
This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for?
This torture, this powerful death of self? Why?
The answer is so simple cause it’s…LOVE.
About Sean
Just want to add that Love is of God, and God is Love. These are the two greatest commandments: love God with all your mind, all your heart and all your life, second is to love your neighbors as you love your self. One thing that we must also not forget. Love your enemy. But love in righteousness. Do not love money and earthly things.
True.
Thanks for adding that Vic
In addition to this awesome blog, I conclude: …Why did Christ die on the cross? because He LOVED
That is a wonderful piece. God bless you for sharing it. I do have question though. Why then is CHARITY used interchangeably with LOVE in some Bible versions (e.g. KJV) in the passage on love in 1 Corinthians 13?
I really enjoyed reading this!
