Love

nothing works effectively with out love
with your time shown, or a kiss blown or at least by a hug
squinted eyes because you dont agree with the lifestyle of others only pushes away people that may eventually turn to the very thing that will kill them, never hearing the truth or even a "i love you"
"i love you still", i love you still is not a cop out, a cover up statement, no its not make up for the skin, but whether a way for people to see you see past their sin, you love them with a love deep within, a love that you have to experience in order to give, not a surface, simple facebook status or a tweet, but something that will make you get down on one knee, something that will make you give up everything just to see the other person happy, unconditional, non pacifying, agape guided LOVE
love is no simple four letter word, but something that is better expressed thru actions rather than words, love is no simple four letter word, because its counterpart has similar similarities, its opposite is hate, another four letter word, a word that is also shown better by actions better that word, and as a people that claim to proclaim the love of God, we have a responsibility to fulfill, Christ's very commandment was to love God and love others as your own, and i ask you would you talk to yourself the way you talk to other people on a daily? would you want someone to talk to your mother the way you talk to others on a daily? or your grandmother? your children, your spouse? your God? no!
love, is a powerful thing, it was shown most powerful by the death of a King, by the death of a King that bore the sins of others, took on the wrongness of others, took on the addictions of others, took on the sin of others, took on the greed of others. and the others weren't even all his friends, but even the ones who screamed "crucify Him!!!"
love, its not something hard to do, it should not feel like a burden, its something we are called to do, something that we were shown to do
i say this not to say to dont expose sin, i say this to do it appropriately. weve been told there is a time for everything, and they way love is SHOWN is no different. you dont beat a 1 year old because he put his hand on the stove, you would guide in him in the way that he should go. well my friends, we must understand that we were once all babes in the faith, not even in the faith and needed someone to guide us on our way, and still need the guidance, and non believers are no different, people who have slipped are no different, people who dont understand how serious "i die daily to my flesh" is, that dont know how serious "the wages of sin IS death" and "theres no gangsta paradise" and "there is a Hell and many people go there" is.
what is love? love is patient, kind, long suffering, hopes all things, believes all things, bares all things, so if you do not practice these qualities then you have a false pretending self proclaimed idea of love that is essentially called self love and its a deadly poison. people wont want to hear you unless they trust you. trust that you wont judge them, trust that they can confide, trust that you will help them if need be, but they cant see it if your yelling and finding flaws....
