What about love?
There are many beliefs and
preconceptions about what love means. For some people simply love doesn’t exist
but for me it is as real as the air I can breathe every day. People have their
own reasons about why love exist or doesn’t. But in my reckoning the reason
those people don’t believe in love is because of their own past experiences.
Some of them have been physically and/or emotionally abused since their
childhood; and that has caused a hardness heart inside of them. They have seen
themselves as protectors of their heart of their feelings and thoughts; they
don’t believe anyone can love them because of the pain many people in the past
have originated. In fact, they have not more beliefs in people goodness or good
intentions. Maybe, they just consider anyone can do something for them without
looking for an interest.
However, it exists those who
consider love is the most important part of human life. It has been shown, that
people have a better life when are loved by someone. And when we talk about
love is not relative to have sex, have a girlfriend or to get married because
those are just expressions of love. What I want to say is that real love never
gives up. That is the major need of humans in life. Love has the power to
overcome the hate, to forget the pain, to forgive the offense, or to heal the
wound. According to Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), he states that “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, and always perseveres”.
Love never fails, it is real; and
those who really love something or someone must have these characteristics in
the way he or she does it. And I can attest that the real and true significance
of love is in Jesus, in God. The person who loves me and loves you without
limits. He has shown me how much I’m worth and how important I am for him. He
is who never gets tired of loving me, in spite of my mistakes, in spite of my
doubts; in spite of my indifference he still loves me and of course loves you,
even when you don’t know or you don’t want to accept him. If you say you love
but you don’t have God in your heart, you don’t really love because if whoever
doesn’t know God, doesn’t love, because God is love.
