"The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' "The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (NAS, Mark 12:28-31)
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
- Matthew 5:44
Thank you to my housemate Billie :)
I was reminded this week of something very important,
Love isn't about feelings.
Love is a choice you make. Sometimes it's hard to love, but God tells people to love even their enemies the same way, the only way to love them is by choice, not by your feelings-- that would be impossible wouldn't it.
Feelings fade, but Love is forever, naturally that already concludes that the two can't last together forever but Christ is forever... Christ is love, the only definition.
Therefore, Love is a decision. It is a choice you make, not a feeling that fades
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son to die for us on the cross, so that those who believe in Him will not perish but have eternal life John 3:16
The choice is yours! I choose to love, and i want to learn to love better, cherishing all the relationships in my life. esp my family.
