Pastor Jeff had a really inspiring sermon yesterday - and I thought I would share what I learned from it with the few of you that read this little blog...
True love is in fact not a feeling, though the world claims it to be that fuzzy feeling we have inside when that special someone is in our life's. I believe that really is not the case. Have you ever wondered why they call it "falling in love" like we have no choice in the matter. That we have to fall face first into it? What happens when you fall out of love as so many in this world claim to do? Falling implies that you have no choice in making a decision to love that person or not - so is that why so many people just decide they don't love a person anymore?
True love is not a feeling, it does not fade with time. It does not waver with new found discoveries, nor does it judge others. True love is unconditional, it is a decision to love someone through everything, the good & the bad, the problems & the arguments. The imperfections & the things that bug you. The things that make you treasure them, their faith, their love, their life. True love is intentionally caring & helping others, regardless of the cost or consequences to oneself. So when you make that decision...realize that its not a feeling, that love, its a choice to love unconditionally no matter what.
He gave his life for us...THAT is unconditional love. We in no way deserved that, yet because He loved us we now have a chance to do the same and love the way we were meant to. No more fickle romances, no more looking for the better person. God will give you that person you are meant to love when you both are ready, but once He gives you that - realize how precious that is. That person was MADE for you by God himself, he molded the two of you so you complete each other. Loving unconditionally is the decision at hand, and I think that would be...and will be one of the best decisions we ever make.
