Love is a subject of great importance.Its the most beautiful feeling in the entire Universe.There are many levels to Love and its a subject of deep meaning.To find out what it means and understand it.You have to truly look for it and believe in it.Dont confuse Lust with Love.Because those are two very different things.Lust is a fire that burns but will eventually burn out.Love is a fire that never burns out.Lust lasts only for a moment and then fades.It only cares about the physical.But Love is about the heart and soul.And its the heart and soul that is eternal.Im in one of my inspirational moods :) Heres what I think about Love and the importance of the heart:
"Love is definetly a subject that everyone thinks about.And its also a subject that few truly understand and alot of the times confuse.They confuse it with lust,but Love is far different from lust and possesses infinitley more meaning.There are many levels to understanding Love.And this is how I understand it.First the Bible says that the three most powerful and important ideals are Faith,Love and Hope.But the most powerful of those 3 is Love.To understand Love and its meaning and power.You must also understand the Heart because thats where Love comes from.The Bible says to Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.That passage shows how important the heart it is.The heart is important because that is the only thing in this Universe that truly belongs to you.There are 3 things that make up a human: the body, the heart and the soul.Ill tell you what I think their connection is later on.Your body it doesnt belong to you,it belongs to the person it was created for (The Bible says that the body of a man is not his,it belongs to the woman it was created for and vice versa) Your soul doesnt belong to you it belongs to God.When you leave this world God is the one to decide where your soul goes.If you fought against darkness and the lies of this world.If you accepted Jesus Christ the hero of all heroes into your heart.If you walked the path of light and always tried your hardest you will earn a spot in Heaven.And if you followed the darkness and hid from the light you will go to the other place :(
That leaves only the heart.The heart is the one thing in this world that can never be taken by anyone.Your heart must be given.God knows that forced Love is not Love.You cant force it.God does not force this upon us.We are suppose to Love God, not out of force,we are suppose to love Him for who He is and what he has done.Ever beautiful quality that exists,Justice, Kindness, Faith, Love, Hope,Beauty, Strength,Courage,Selfnesses etc. those are the qualities that God embodies.He gave up everything He loved so he could gain our Love.He gave His only begotten Son for us.He became poor so we could become rich.Hes done all this for us and more.And we dont deserve any of it.No man is worthy for the glory of God.Because of our refusing to listen to God and not eat from the tree of knowledge we allowed temptation and sin into the world.God knew that we are not strong enough to resist temptation and because of that we fall into sin.But despite all our faults He still Loves and helps us.Because thats what God is.God is Love.And those are some of the reasons we give our Heart to Him.The heart has 3 keys.One of them belongs to God,the other Jesus, and the third one belongs to our soul mate.The one that God has chosen for us and brings together at the appropriate time.
Now like I said Love has many levels to understand.The Love between a Man and a Woman can be very deep and complicated.An important concept to understand is equality.Man and Woman are equals."Woman was not created from a mans head to rule over him,nor was she created out of his feet to be stepped on.She was created out of his side to be his equal,under his arm to be protected and close to his heart to be loved" That is very true.This is how I see it.There are two paths Light and darkness.When we give our lives to God we are on the path of light.It is said that the path is exactly how you make it.This is what I think that means.Faith,Love and Hope are what make up the path of light.Faith determines how wide the path is for some people it is very narrow and must be walked with one foot at a time.For others it is a little wider and you can use both feet giving you better stability.Love determines how strong the path is and hope is what drives you forward.(Always remember that its not the fall that defines you its the will to get back up.We all stumble and fall on the path but we have to get back up.Jesus is always there to give you His hand and help you up.There are alot of things I could tell you about the path.And if anybody wants to know Ill write you some more about it :) Ok back to the idea of Love.As you walk further down on the path you might see your soul mate further along.God will bring the two together at the right time and moment.I believe that there is only one right person out there.There is only one person that has all the pieces to your puzzle.We all represent half a puzzle and there is only one other with the missing pieces that will complete.You complete eachother.Thats why it is said you are whole when you find your soul mate.Thats why you have to prepare for eachother because you accompany eachother on the path of light.You have to be strong for eachother.Because as you walk further down the path there are obstacles in your way and you have to get through them with eachother.If one person is having a bad day and is very weak you have to carry them,help them and encourage them.You do everything in your power to help them on the path hold them in your arms and carry them through the bad times.You do this because you love them and you want to see them happy.You want to see them smile.And their pain causes you pain.Love is putting somebody elses wants and need ahead of yours.You want to see them walk the path of light and get to its destination.So you can spend eternity with them.See them truly happy and truly smile.Because over there is no pain and no sadness,Just Love.Youll spend eternity getting to know eachother on a whole other level.
One thing that we have to understand is that no matter how hard we try our Love cant be perfect.It is flawed.But it doesnt mean we cant keep trying :) The only Perfect Love there is, is the Love that God and Jesus has for us.Their Love is unconditional.And its truly perfect.
There is a thin line between Love and lust.This is very true.This is how I think about it:
People confuse Love with Lust. Those are two different things. The difference between love and lust is:
Love is about someone else
Lust is all about yourself
And Marriage that is built on lust will never last because lust is all about the physical.Love that is based only on the body withers and dies within time because thats what the body does. Physical Beauty doesnt last forever and lust is only about the physical. But marriage that is based and built on love never grows old it only gets stronger and more beautiful as time goes by. To you the person you love is just as beautiful as the day you met them. And in your eyes they will always be the most beautiful person on the planet.
I like reading quotes,especially quotes that are really meaningful and make you think.I like this one,it really has alot of meaning.
"Why do we close our eyes when we sleep, when we cry, when we imagine, when we kiss, when we pray? Because, the most beautiful things in the world can not be seen with your eyes, it must be felt with your heart."
I hope you all liked it.These are just some of my thoughts about this subject.And whoever is reading this I hope you agree with some of this.But if you dont tell me what you think.Opinions and critique is welcome :) I hope you all have a wonderful week full of smiles.Take care and God Bless you all.
