Revelation (Kind of Cliche)



I know this has been stated to death, but to me its just so astounding! God is LOVE! Not the enfatuation type of love that you have for a crush or several, or the love that a couple shares and then for some reason or another decide to get a divorce, or even the good love you have for family, friends, GF/BF, or a spouse. God is the big kind of LOVE. He is the LOVE that will never stop no matter what you do. He is the LOVE that can and does LOVE despite our flaws. He is the LOVE that is perfect, completely perfect, and infinitely big. (This is going to be a little confusing, but it makes sense in my mind.) So you think for such a perfect and huge LOVE our love is not even a fraction of His LOVE, but when we have His Son , a perfect incarnation of LOVE of the greatest LOVE of all (the sacrificial kind), in our lives we have LOVE in us, and then we now use His LOVE and LOVE Him back. Which is odd and interesting because if He is LOVE and He LOVES us its like He's giving himself to us. Which if you think about it when you LOVE someone and you can't express it it feels like your whole insides just want to burst out of you and on to them covering them in the LOVE and guts which is kind of gross but if you've felt it you get it. Anyway when we LOVE Him back with His LOVE it's complete. We need no more. It might even be too big for us... correction it 'is' too big for us (which might be one reason why we feel like we could explode with it). I think that if we as Christ followers were to make LOVE our main focus (and remember God is LOVE) then we could take care of a lot of this animosity towards "Christians". I mean think about it the greatest commandment is to LOVE God and then LOVE others, but if you do the first the second will follow. Also if we were to LOVE like He does then when it comes to the tough times when it may be hard to love someone we can just simply LOVE them and it's enough. We don't have to like them just LOVE them. It might be harder than even liking them but think of it this way to LOVE them we have to LOVE them as Christ did so we have to LOVE them like we would give our lives up for them. I know I'm no where near this, but I know that if I do do this it makes standing them a whole lot easier.
So I know that was long, but I hope it makes you think or ponder or whatever.
