I believe in LOVE


I believe in a thing called LOVE.  I believe that it is the most powerful thing that we will ever encounter here on this side of heaven.  We were made to love and to be loved.  We are all looking for it.  Its like we are all in this race striving to find this one thing, and we are all looking in different places, and there are all these things dressed up as love that have us fooled.  Yes we are fools for love, we do crazy things for it.  What do you think love is?  Do you think it is just a feeling, is it sexual attraction, is it something that makes you feel good?  What do you truly love in your life, how do you want to be loved?  These are questions that I ponder in myself and those around me.  Do any of us really know what love is, I’m not really sure, but we all want to know and experience it, we want to have it or be in it.  It’s like this common denominator that we all share, that’s maybe why our culture is based off of romance and sexuality, it’s like we have fallen into this false sense of the meaning of Love.
There are songs, movies, and endless advertisements enticing us into the idea of love, but it is so much more than what the media portrays it to be.  Love is the most intense, transforming being on this earth, it has the power to completely change people and circumstances for the good and to make someone become fully alive, it raises the dead to life, and enables the blind to truly see.  Do you know what I mean, it is miraculous!  When you fall in love with someone you don’t have to force yourself to do things for that person, it is just part of your being, it just pours over.  Yes I know that love is a choice, that phrase has been beaten into my head by my father from a very young age, but WOW when you choose to love beyond yourself and your own desires and wants, when you see this powerful force outside of yourself, you are put in pain, there is a lack of comfort, somedays you feel like a ragdoll, but oh boy do you come to life, you start to realize your purpose, why you have been put on this earth.  When your blind eyes begin to see that you are extravagantly LOVED by Love Himself and you were made to Love as Love has loved you, WOW, talk about a revelation, talk about a life change, talk about the Lame beginning to walk!  Can I get an AMEN. 
Oh how I long and pray that we will stop being fools for love, for falling for the prostitute of love here on this earth and we start to have the guts to go for the real thing, LOVE himself.  Yes it is a hard road, it is the narrow way, and the path less traveled, but what a brilliant journey it is, chasing Love through this earth, finding Him in every moment through every eye and every sunset.  I have something to tell you: Love is here folks.  Love is beckoning each beloved person on this earth, Love is knocking on your door.  Love might seem so far from you at this moment but that could be no FARther from the Truth.
Wake up world.  Close your eyes to the seductress of our times and open them to the Light of Love.  You are a child of Love, a child of GOD.  I beg of you to find this Light and kindle it with the Love of your Savior, this light, your life was not created to be put out by this dark world, but to overcome and together we shall fan a flame that will conquer death and life itself!
