I need LOVE! Wow...what a real post. It can't be real for me. Or arrghh...i am desperate. Well, true enough to say that everyone need love. Can you tell me u do not need love in your love? i bet you can't.
Well as we prepare in January during our retreat for our youth ministry, we found out that love is the main topic we going to stress on or focus on this year, again. But why love? isn't it last year already talk about love? or a year before that? Currently i'm reading a book call The Love Dare, as featured in Fireproof the movie. Well, honestly it is a book for marriage couple. But i don't think it's wrong for non-couple to read it. I was really touch when watch fireproof the Movie. Thanks to Sherwood Picture. On the first day or day 1 it talks about Love is Patient. The author strongly agree that our heart needs love like the lungs need the oxygen. In other word, everyone need love. Maybe it's love for God, love for parent, Love for education, love for partners, love for spouse or love for friends. The world is in disaster if there is no love.
the reason why God come to this earth is because He love the world as stated in John 3:16. Even in Old Testament, God already shows how much He love the world, and most of the time God actually cancel His punishment for the people. And finally the King, or the Lord or the Creator Himself come down to earth to show His love and even perform many miracles of healing, raising the death and even heals the sick one, just to show how much He love the nation and want them back from their wicked ways. Isn't God is wonderful?
If God the one we say the Creator of the Universe can love us and be patient towards us, why not us? Can't we show our love for others and be patient to others? In my reading on The Love Dare describe to us that Love build on two pillars; Patient and Kind. Love is patient because patient is how we react to minimize a negative circumstance, whereas love is kind; because kind is an act to maximize a positive circumstance. True! Can we argue on this? If we say we need love, but we need others to show to us their patient towards us and be kind to us; means that we are selfish too!! Love not selfish. Selfish here mean when we think of our self and expect others to show it to us only. But how about ourself? If we say we love them, isn't it we are not suppose to be selfish too by also shows our love for others?
I am thinking how can we live in this world without love, where everyone is killing each other, hurting each other and backstabber to each other! Can we imagine that? Love one another. It is not just a religious teaching, but also a moral value that we should love one another.
Even the Love Dare book is for couple, but we can learn a lot through the book as a young one or non-married person. I strongly suggest that get to store and grab or buy this book! in 40 days reading only. To learn about love and to exercise love in our daily life.
We all need love!!!
