There's been a lot of talk about LOVE in my life lately - young love, old love, and all kinds of love in between.
How do people "fall" "IN LOVE".
Can people fall "out" of "love"?
There's the fairy tale version of "love" with rose petals, princes on white horses, and fair maidens...
There's the sweet love of child with a sticky face offering a parent a priceless kiss.
There's the movie "love" - the one where boy meets girl and despite obstacles of distance, age, finances, education, or even intense dislike, they fall head over heels for each other.
There's 'best friend' love, brotherly (and sisterly) love, family love, and then...
Then there's God's love - eternal love - the kind where He sends His only son to take away the sins of the world so that we may have fellowship with Him if we only believe.
In 1 Corinthians 13, love is laid out for us:
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
I suppose that is the LOVE that I want to be known for having. A love that doesn't end when circumstances change. A love that endures storms and allows me to go on "without fail" even when my heart feels broken, trampled or ignored.
I pray that those in young love will realize all that God's love has for them as they grow, and that God's love will protect and guard their hearts, allowing them to also go on "without fail" in His perfect love forever.
