floating feeling of falling in love and all the nice things that go
with it. Then later in life after you have been with your partner for
a while you realise that love had nothing to do with that feeling.
Love is about caring when it is not convenient for
you, shopping when you hate it, talking when you are barely able to
release a grunt.
Why then is it that people that used to be so in love can hate and
spite one another so badly once they get separated? Sometimes even
using their kids as the weapons of mass destruction...
How fine is this line that separates love from hate?
When God created us we knew nothing about our nakedness (physical
love) yet Adam loved Eve so much that already he accepted his fate of
dying with her. He knew exactly what would happen if he ate the
fruit.
Adam forgot one thing though, that he chose his love for Eve over the
love for God. This should have beenthe end of it according to our
standards.
The amazing part is that
God did not stop loving Adam.
The line should have been crossed we should be hated by God or even
destroyed!
Ah but we never realised that God is the line. He is Love. The power
of such love so extraordinary that no matter how you have
disappointed Him He still died to save you. In fact he is still
counting your hair everyday....
Now that we realise that God's Love for us is eternal and not based
on any feelings lets base our relationships on His type of Love, on
Him.
Next time if you are not sure if something is from God consider if it
is based on Love Godly Love.

Yea this word love is a little tricky one…. I always thought I knew what love really is but it took me to get married to really understand love. Lets face it, I’m not mister perfect and I realize that everyday. The amazing thing is that through the last 3 years of married life, I learned more about God’s grace and love for us than in my 30 years of living before getting married. God’s love over shadows our love and once we understand what love is and we place this in the picture with God and ourselves we are struck with the reality of just how great His love is.
Think of the worst thing you ever did that you are ashamed of…. Now ask yourself will people still love you and look at you the same way if they knew?..... God will!!! See there is no end to His love.
Keep it flowing Dewald, I love the thoughts
