Love is...

Love is...

I've already explain a lot on my blog about what love really is... But I'm always talking about a certain person and not just about "love." So I decided that in this blog post, it will just be about "love."

Usually when some people hear the word love the first thing that comes to their mind is a boyfried-girlfriend relationships.

But love is not just about that.

Love happens not just from that special guy you see at school or something, it also happens inside a house, in a church, in the hospital, in happy times and also in times when we thought we're alone.

Love happens when we least expect it.

This blog post is actually for those who think love is stupid, worthless, selfish, lust, etc.

LOVE IS NOT A NEGATIVE ELEMENT!

Did you know that because of love, every believer is saved? WE ARE SINNERS! NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS! Our imperfections have caused us to sin, but because that love exist, a God allowed His one and only Son to shed His own blood for us, and paid for our sins, and purchased a place in heaven for us.

Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world so much, that He gave His one and only Son, and that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life."

Yes. I am talking about Jesus Christ.

To those who say that "if you dont have experience or if you have not experienced pain then you don't know love"..

No. That is not true.

To whoever doesnt know God, doesn't know love. Because God himself is love.

Years ago, I didn't really know what love is.

On February 14, 2015, I was starting to understand what it really is.

It makes us do things against our own selfish will. It is the reason why "forgiveness" exist in this world full of eternal struggle. Human beings cannot love without a forgiving heart, because our imperfections has caused us to hurt each other again and again.

Love is what makes us overcome challenges. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."(Philippians 4:13).

Love gave us hope in every rejection.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm, plans to give you hope and a future."(Jeremiah 29:11)

Love is not selfish..

If you think it is, because of "selos", that is not love. It's just infatuation.

Love is not worthless.

God is love. "Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure His greatness."(Psalm 145:3)

Love is not lust.

Love and lust are different.

Lust is having a desire to have sex with someone, liking someone becuase of their physical appearance, while "love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

I'm not writing this blog post to offend or attack anyone.

We can't always convince ourselves that hugging, kissing, or having sex is love. Its not love. You can kiss, hug, sleep with someone, say "I love you" a lot, even though you dont love them.

When someone wants to have sex with you and tells you that if you love him/her you should say yes. That is lust. Dont be fooled.

Having sex doesnt strengthen the love in a relationship.

If you lose your virginity before marriage, especially when that person is only temporary, you're like a second hand. Used for one night or maybe a few more and then thrown to a pile. So cheap.

Be expensive, not cheap. Only the one who really deserves you which is someone who really loves you, is the only one who can have you.

Out of seven billion people in the world, you choose to marry that person because you think that person is the one for you. But then you gave your virginity to someone else. Second hand lang?

I am not trying to attack or offend anyone. But I'm not sorry for everything that I wrote in this blog post.

I am just sharing what I know that love really is, because it annoys me to hear stuff about lust or infatuation and then at the end, people will call it "love".

Sincerely,

Beatrize Kezia Grace
