God type of love

 

The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love...

If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love.

In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call themselves friends for nothing no act of love to show for it. You are my friend and you are the last person I can call when am in need or you always trying to compete with me instead of complimenting me, what is the point of that kind of a friendship.

Parent and children relationships.

The only time some parents ever show love to their children is when they bring home a good grade or do something big. This is typically wrong. Yes I know it is to encourage them to do better, but it should not be done in such away to make them feel like, the only time they deserved to be loved (cared for, praised and encouraged) is when they have done something special to deserve it, making them tie their worth in life to mere school grades that might not even be their area of strength or gifting. Many people grew up with this kind of mentality, that is why some student in the university can commit suicide over a bad grade. Parent need to do more when it comes to loving their children because it goes a long way to determine how a child is going to give love and receive love in the future. Children should be made to understand that the reason why they are loved by their parents is because they are their children and nothing more, that they don't need to do anything special to recieve  love from their parents. This is exactly how God love is toward his creations. He created us, so he loves us so dearly, both in  times when we are faithful and unfaithful to him, and he expects us to show that kind of love to the people around us. 

Don't hate someone because their religion and belief  system, don't hate someone because of the way they dress or the way they eat, don't hate someone because of what you heard about them, don't hate someone because you feel they are of no use to you, don't hate someone because no one likes them don't hate someone because of any reason. Always choose love above any another thing. Remember God loved you and still do even in those times when you turned your back against him. His love for you never changed, and it won't. His love for you is perfect and pure. You can't do anything to make him love you more or less than he already does. What a perfect love.

If you find it difficult to love people genuinely, ask God to help you heal, so you can love like him and trust that is going to come through for you. You also have to know and believe in your heart of heart that you are loved by God.  I don't know what you have gone through, and I might never be able to understand, but this is what I know you can do; allow yourself to receive God's love, read his word, talk to him about your feelings of hurt and listen to him speak to you. Give way for him to work on the deepest hardest part of your heart and show you what true love really looks like so you can also be a reflection of such love to people. (And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.) Imagine the world with more loving people and less self-centered people, and the government or other vital leadership positions occupied by men and women who had the interest of their followers at heart rather than their own selfish motives. how beautiful will that be

Love is not self-seeking, it is trusting God to take care of you why you take care for others. _ Joyce Meyer
