Powerful word on "LOVE"

** IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TURN MUSIC OFF - MUSIC BOX IS IN THE LEFT COLUMN JUST SCROLL DOWN AND HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON ONE TIME!  **

1Corinthians 13:4-7,13 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, boastful,  proud or rude. It does not demand its own way! It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.  Three things WILL last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is LOVE.

Of this post tonight, I am not just reaching out to the Married or Dating in a relationship. I am reaching out to EVERYONE. Sinner and Saint. So many people today DO NOT have any idea of what TRUE LOVE really is!  No matter what we go through in our life in ALL the relationships we have, Friend, Foe, Dating, Marital... We need to learn how to Truly Love, UNCONDITIONALLY Love, EVERYONE!  Like it or not, this is commanded of us. No matter what they [others involved] have said or done, We must learn to love them. [as noted above in 1 Corinthians]
 
Please allow me to break this down for you as I read this tonight, noting the above scripture -Love is PATIENT in ALL Circumstances, with EVERYONE!  It is KIND, [we do not speak out of anger]. Love is NOT jealous or boastful, It is NOT proud or rude. [We should not brag about our love to anyone or about ourself, We should NOT be jealous of others or others situations or their blessings. We should NOT be so proud -- that we can not admit our wrongs or confess them to the ones we have wronged!]  Love does NOT demand its own way, EVER! [Love is NOT SELFISH. Love does not place ones self above others - EVER!] 

Love is NOT irritable [at anytime in anything], It keeps NO RECORD of being wronged. [I am just as guilty throwing up some wrongs that my own husband has hurt me in. We should never hold our wounds caused by another over their head. God is forgiving and we should be forgiving.. Forgetting is hard and in most cases, we can not ever forget, but that does not mean we keep throwing that wrong back up in the others face hurting them like they hurt us. The healing begins when we confess our wrong and sincerely apologize to the ones we have hurt and totally surrender to God our wounds allowing his healing to begin.]
 
It does NOT rejoice about all of our INJUSTICES, IT REJOICES when TRUTH is WON! [What does whining about old wounds really do for us, [again just as guilty] We never really get results when we complain about all the pain one has caused, We never get results when complaining about never having our own way. RESULTS come when TRUTH is ACCEPTED and Change has come.]  TRUE LOVE NEVER gives up, NEVER loses faith and is ALWAYS hopeful! [Too many people are sooo quick to give up on their relationships. Why throw it all away for nothing? Be it courting an other, marital, family or friendship. When we give up on our loved one[s] - we have allowed the enemy to rob us of the victory that was already won by Christ at Calvary. DONT GIVE UP on the ones you love- EVER! Hold on to FAITH, HOPE and LOVE unconditionally the same LOVE God gives to all of us.] LOVE will get us through the difficult times if we can TRULY LOVE with an UNCONDITIONAL Love.
 
Ask yourself this, What is the God Kind of Love? Do you know? [Scroll to the top of this post and you will see, 1Corinthians 13:7-14] You see, There are 2 kinds of Love. You are probably saying, What do you mean? How? Well, There is Gods Love and then there is Natural Human Love. Whats the difference? Natural human love is always willing and ready to accept and believe the worst in every person. It never has anything good to say about the other person. The Natural Human love is HURTFUL, HATEFUL, REVENGEFUL, Its Curses and Fusses all the time. It is just plain MEAN!  Gods Love is always ready to accept and believe the best, the good in every person. It never has anything negative to say about others. Gods Love bears up under anything and everything that comes. Gods love, IS NOT interested in What it can get, It IS interested in What it can give!  We can go over the countless times we all have said, "I cannot stand this person anymore or what they do, I cannot take this or that anymore."  Think about this one thing, GOD PUTS UP WITH YOU!

In the moments you want to give up on the other or speak negative about the other, remember this, God has put up with you [each of us] continuously and yet he still loves you [us] unconditionally! 
 
IF YOU WALK IN LOVE --- GODS LOVE ---  LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL!
 
Something I read tonight I want to share :-: The Love of God is in ALL of our hearts, but it may be like a talent that was wrapped in a napkin and hidden in the earth. We may not use it but that Love of God is in our hearts. If we would learn to use it, and learn to let that love dominate us, it would make a difference in our lives. It would cure the ills in our homes. This kind of Love has never been to a divorce court, and will NEVER go. It is natural human love that sees the divorce court on a regular basis. Natural human love can turn to hatred when it doesn't get its way. Natural human love WILL fight, fuss, claw, knock, cuss and be mean. Divine Love, when it is reviled, revileth NOT again.
 
The God-Kind of Love is NOT interested in What I can get—but in What I can give!  
 
In all your days in every relationship - be one who is willing to show the God kind of Love. One who is loving unconditionally no matter what the circumstances are, in the good times and in the bad. If you are arguing with your friends, your courting partner or your spouse. Always be sure you tell them you love them no matter how upset with them you are. IF your wrong or right, Tell them you love them and sincerely mean it. Dont forget to SHOW them that love.
 
People can be stubborn, I know I live with one and I am one. However, I admit, I believe my husband is the worst of all stubborn ones. My confession, I am sure I will hear it later. :)  I know what it is like to feel the Natural Human Love and I know what it is like to give it. Over the years I have been blessed with the learning of how to give the God Kind Of Love to others. I am not afraid to show it, however I do admit it is still hard to let go of the hurts ones you love so much have caused you. But I can say this, over the years I have learned and I am still learning to love unconditionally. With out this love, I can honestly say, I would not be the person I am today. Honestly, I not ashamed to admit, my marriage would of been disolved before it ever took off. Sure like others we go through hardships, more then most do. But none the less, as angry as I get at my husband, I will always love him unconditionally, no matter how many wounds he has ripped open in me. Someday he will learn Gods way of loving unconditionally. Until that day comes, well I will have to learn to bite my tongue and love as Christ loves you and me. 
 
Dont just celebrate your love for your significant other on Valentines day. Celebrate it everyday...
 
Be blessed everyone and thank you for allowing me to share this post.
