.::What is Love?::.

1 John 4:8  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Agape love - Selfless love of one person for another without sexual implications



           In a world full of Lust its hard to find love. You can find anyone out there in the world who is willing to be sexually intimate with you.Yet the truest test of love is someone who is willing to love you deep into your soul. Someone who is willing to care about your soul. See the bible says John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. See God sent his only son who was without sin to die on the cross for the sins of many. So that we could have eternal life in heaven and live there for ever with him after we die. Yet think about it for yourself how many times in your life have you failed? How many times have you lied? How many times have you sinned? Yet a perfect Lord gave himself for you. 

Love is a Gift that is Freely Given!

 

No Greater Love Poem

By: Jasmine Cooper

Sometimes i feel that some people don't love they just go thru the motions 

leaving the words i love you emptier then pit josephs brothers pulled him out of

 only to sell him into slavery

Parents leaving their children longing for what they cant give them 

Because there to busy searching for it themselves ..

love 

in this world its hard to find 

Selfish love is not love its greed

Take all you can get but never give back

Cuz u thirsty and i remember jesus sitting at a well with a woman cuz she was chasing men 

But the well she sat at was fuller than her

You would of thought after all those men she would of realized 

That real true definition of love is not found there

And i dont careHow much you tell me that fairy tale endings are real 

After your long white dress & knight and shining armor 

Reality hits that life's problems are still there

and happily ever afters are watching bills stack up in the kitchen

Dirty diapers, argurments nosey neighbors leaning against the walls trying to listen

And its crazy cuz that white picket fence never made you any happier

 it was only another check off your list of what they told you would fill your void

 but somethings still missing

And you been ignoring him like the Church bells ringing on Sunday 

Maybe you should of listen to grandmabas she walked Faithly to church each Sunday singing those hymns in the kitchen Trying to bring the family togetherBut ever since she died you could all careless

She understood that love is selfless 

Taught you to understand that God is good God is great let us thank him for our food amen

Just to appreciate a thing like a meal because the next one isnt promised

Cared about your soul

And i wonder if that money you killing people over wont stab you in the back just as hard

when there are kids living be hind bars

because daddy never taught me to love just to chase this bread to hustle hard

I mean love where are you

because all he wanted was time spent

Yet he got a not today son time is money children willing to pay for your time like u pay rent

Love i know i dont gotta beg for you

In Despertation

They told me love is found in my education

Yet i wonder if at the gates if heaven Jesus will accept my degree

Cuz you know there's never been a good person in this world like me

I deserve this but even people at the top are lonely and still longing for more underneath their pride

I mean ask yourself if everything they had made them happy why some stars still commit sucide 

i wonder if i told them how easy it would be to just call on his name

That inside where it feels empty would be filled and life would never be the same 

Would they listen to hear that he is love

I use to tell myself love didnt exsist

Yet ill tell you now since i found Christ aint no love in this world GREATER THEN THIS!

The Opposite of Love is Fear

^{1:John 4:18} There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Filled with anxiety afraid to love or let love in there I was wondering how could I do this because love had always failed me. Afraid to give my love away afraid to let love in. Yet what i have learned is how can you fill something if its already filled.. how could i be filled with love if I was already filled with fear.  Left with the words of  JUST TRUST ME -God. Well trust is a word that had never lead to anything Good me trust anyone no way. I mean this is God i should trust him yet viewing him like i view my earthly family i was filled with fear or him not keeping is word.

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you;Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you,I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Help me God wanted to show me things in which I had never yet experienced before in my life in an area that made me feel so uncomfortable. Its like standing on a three story building backwards saying okay someone on the ground catch me. Yet as i stepped out on faith to my surprise it was like peter walking on water. A love that allows the impossible be possible and there is nothing to fear if you keep your eye on Jesus but as soon as you stop, you will begin to sink. Yet you have to be willing to step out in trust. To understand Gods love because his love is to help you not to hurt you but to only make you stronger then you once were even in those moments of weakness when your going through the storm. There is always purpose through the storm and you will always come out better on the other side of it. Love that doesn't really love will leave you destroyed and not restored. Gods love is the type of love that brings you out of hard times and into a place of overflow. A place where even when there is battles to come in your face God is still there to help you overcome those struggles as long as you hold on to him.

Numbers 13:30-31 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it

Indescribable type love a love that knows the desires of your heart even when the world thinks they know whats best. God knows whats better! Oh what a  sweet love that is worth putting trust in a love that never fails, a love that never ends, a love that is so consuming. So BEAUTIFUL IS GODS LOVE. God is for us he wants the best for us not to harm us or hurt us but just to love us. With a pure sweet love like milk and honey heading into a promise land filled with Gods promises. That he keeps and doesn't break a promise in which he makes. He sticks it out with you threw good times and bad times. Its true like Romans 8:31 says If God is for us who can be against us. Winning every battle with his love!
