Love…

Postby Simon » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:55 am

Love…
Just because you love a person and they don’t love you, it doesn’t make you less of a person. Just because someone else sees you as un-valuable it doesn’t mean you’re not. People that are insecure/unconfident about their importance in life need to be loved by people to give people love. But when you’ve realized that YOU ARE SOMEBODY regardless of what people think it’s not such a great loss on your part not to be loved in return but on their part.
Showing love isn’t a sign of weakness or inferiority. It’s not a sign of submission to man but to God, and it IS a sign of maturity… It’s an immature game not to show love because someone else didn’t love you (thank God that he didn’t do that to us). Pride is what waits for others to love us before we love them, but if we realize who we are and what Jesus Christ has given us we would see that we have love in excess to give.
You’ve made that person a god/idle when you wait for their approval to feel qualified, or you wait for them to acknowledge you to feel special. Don’t see yourself through peoples’ eyes but through Gods’.

Even children have a easier time loving others than most people, that’s why if we don’t become as little children we won’t make it to heaven -Luke18:17. Don’t wait for others to call you, you call them. Don’t wait for others to greet you, you greet them.
You may not think much of what’s on your heart to say to others in Jesus name, but Goliath didn’t think much of the little stone in young David’s sling either, that is, before David slung it...

:) How very true...it isn't love when you love someone just because they love you back...real love...is also when you continue to love them anyway, long after they turn around and walk away from you, just the way God continues to love us, even when we turn away from Him.

Nice thoughts, and thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing that. A lot of us (myself included) need to be reminded of that truth.

Thank you Simon.... I've been going through some trials there. This really does help. Thanks.
--To Write Love on Her Arms

"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."

"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."

Good words. :thumb:
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
