Love is the force that shapes our lives beautiful. We search for it in the opposite sex (some of us run from it in the opposite sex). We long for it from our parents and if the start of our lives goes as it should, then we bask in it from birth to death.
Love is that four letter world that we sling around carelessly referring to our favorite car with this word, our favorite clothes, our favorite show, our favorite desert. This one word encompasses for us a range of things–from what we adore to the people that we just cannot live without. Love is what humans live and die for. As quiet as it is kept, love is everything to all of us. It’s just, we don’t know what it really is. We reach the age where our parent’s and family’s and friend’s love is not enough and we just need more.
So, some of us have sex with whom ever we choose and we call it “making love.” And some of us have a chemical response to another’s body and utter “I love” that, when I want that or I lust that are more appropriate. We search for it in the air around us and the face every man or woman we meet. We secretly know we really need it and want it, but we don’t know how to really have love.
Well, the truest meaning of the word is God. God is Love and since He is, then to have more Love is to have more of Him. It’s more than Christians “getting non-Christians saved.” It’s a woman falling in love with her creator. It’s a man taking off the mask and allowing God to create love in his life that changes the course of everything as he has known it. It’s about me and you becoming more real than we have ever been before, simply because Love requires our honesty, our nakedness, our longing for the Living God to be central to everything that we are and all that we do, to show us just what He can do with this heart inside this lifetime. To really live and love.
