LOVE is gentle, though it is full of passion, it is a gentle state of existence, almost like a balm for the spirit! The passion of LOVE derives from the NEED of it's existence, and, the need for it to continue, expand, and, expound!!!
Humans could NOT grasp *GOD'S* LOVE, or, the existence of HIM, whom IS LOVE, thus, HE gave a seed of HIMSELF to a BLESSED Virgin, Mary, that, HIS LOVE WOULD COME TO LIFE, AS AN EXAMPLE for ALL HUMANITY TO experience, firsthand, and, to cultivate, then, to carry on, in that example: thus, CHRIST JESUS!!!
And so, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND *GODLY* LOVE, we MUST study the life of JESUS, in it's entirety, and, HIS teachings, that *GODLY* LOVE is OPTIMIZED, DESPITE the tactics of the deceiver to eradicate such lessons from our grasp!!!
Let us begin with 1 CORINTHIANS, Chapter 13, as it has much to say about *GODLY* LOVE:
1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,
5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.
7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
9 For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
12 At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
13 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love...
This Chapter is IMPERATIVE to, at least, BEGINNING to embrace it's design! My own ideals of LOVE were reaffirmed when I first read this, and, have added to my belief in the PERFECTION OF *GODLY* LOVE! This is not something merely to read, instead, to devour, digest, and, let become ONE with YOUR SOUL!!!!
Following are some components of LOVE, especially LOVE for one another, to the best of my own analysis:
LOVE IS:
Selfless, in compassion, caring, sharing, and, giving, charitable; for, and, to, one another as in ALL!
Acceptance, tolerance, and, patience; for, and, to ALL!
Gentleness, kindness, and meekness; towards ALL!
Non-judgemental, forebearing, and, forgiving; in ALL instances; for, and, to ALL!
Honest, sincere, and, truthful, with integrity; for, and, to ALL, and, in ALL instances!
Encouraging, supportive, and, steadfast; for, and, to ALL, in ALL instances!
Unconditional, non-expectant, and, free-flowing; for, and, to ALL, in ALL instances!
Respectful, honourable, with regard, and, reverence; for, and, to ALL, in ALL instances!
IF we can learn, understand, embrace, then, utilize these virtuous components of LOVE, we ARE becoming ONE with LOVE/*GOD*! The key is this: REACTING towards others from a stance, or, sense of LOVE, PRIMARILY, OVER raw emotions of the mind! See, when we stop, and, let LOVE guide our reactions, then, our mind's reaction is quieted! We spend way too much time listening to the chatter of our mind's, BEFORE we listen to the deeply effective voice of LOVE, thus, we do, and, say things which might not represent our true beings; this IS the way the deceiver ensnares us, as, he has provided that silly chatter that we so rely on!!!
People bring us various emotions, therefore, reactions, most of which, ARE outside, way outside of LOVE, thus, another stumblingblock! IF we spend more time scouring, and, studying the WORD, LOVE, and, the WILL of *GOD*, then, UNDERSTANDING frees us from having to face these unnecessary stumblingblocks, because, we are then, under *GOD* influence, as opposed to evil influence, and, we all KNOW that *GOD* influence IS THE most powerful influence ever, else, not one of us would exist!!!
Begin today; LOVE IS the answer for ALL of life's challenges, and, to ARISING from the shackles of this world! Stay with me, there is more to come!!!
I LOVE YOU!!! *GOD* BLESS, and, guide us ALL!!!
