Love

So many definitions. So many shapes and forms. Love is truly what makes the world go round.

The perceived lack of it is also the cause of our deepest hurt.

If someone loves you and you love them back there is a natural desire to please the other person.

Only one problem.

No one can ever fully please another because we are different. Our mindsets, our upbringing, our opinions differ.

Imagine having someone love you but you didn’t need to please them. If you did something they don’t like they didn’t get angry or upset. Imagine not needing to do anything to get their love.

Imagine loving someone else like that.

If you go back to the Author of love this is the original intent. Love should be unconditional. No romance needed. No I do this for you and you do this for me.

Love finds its true expression in focusing on the act of loving as its source of joy instead of what it might receive back in return.

Most of us struggle with this since our hearts feel empty. Drained of the ability to be selfless. You can’t be a true lover if you don’t know that you have that unconditional love already yourself.

‘I do?’ You ask. You do. Before you were even conceived you were fully loved. Yahweh saw you. Knew you. It doesn’t matter whether you were good or naughty He loved you. It doesn’t matter if you loved him back or not.

He has never not loved you.

You see He is love and true love NEEDS nothing back.

It is unconditional.

When you open your heart to His love it enables you to be like Him.

A true lover.
