Well guys, it's Valentines Day...or as I heard someone say, it's "I'm-gonna-shovve-love-down-your-throat" Day. :) I thought that was funny. So anyways, since today is all about love, let's think about this. What does God say about love? What is love anyways? My friend posted on her facebook one time that "The bible says 'Love is patient, love is kind' and the stores say 'Love is chocolate and flowers'." That comment really got me thinking. What is love? So I started thinking, What does the Bible say love is? After finding that out, I can garuntee you this, whatever the world says about love, God says the opposite. The world has twisted the definition of love. So accourding to the Bible, here is God's veiw of love Vs. the worlds. Take what I have typed and put it in this sentatce:
If GOD says that love is _________ ...then the World says it is _________.
-...patient (1st Cor. 13:4)... ...gimme it now!
-...not envious (1st Cor. 13:4)... ...jealous of every other guy/girl that lays eyes on your gf/bf.
-...sacrificial (John 15:13)... ...getting what you want.
-...waiting for the right person... ...a one-night-stand.
-...to be shared with everyone... ...only to be shared between a man and woman.
-...shown in many ways... ...only shown by a romantic relationship.
-...a beautiful thing... ...a dirty thing.
-...an action with emotions attatched... ...and emotion with actions attatched.
-...not always happy... ...always happy, and if it's not happy, it's not real love.
-...sticks around through thick and thin... ...says "If we're fighting, we don't love each other."
-...real... ...infatuation
-...faithful... ...easily moved.
-...treating others as you would treat yourself... ...having your best intrest in mind first.
-...MORE than making love... ...ONLY making love, and if you don't do it, it's not real love.
-...lasting forver... ...not there once the "butterflies in your tummy" go away.
-...sometimes rebuke... ...prideful and says "if you rebuke me, you don't love me."
-...God is love... ...love is a god.
See what I mean? Like did you ever think about how much the world has warped our view of love as teenagers? I hope this helped your view of love be changed. Some of them I couldn't find specific verses for, but the ones I could, I wrote down. :) Well, that's is. I love you guys. :) Happy Valentines Day!
