For a while now i have been trying to figure out what love really is and how do we do it. I looked in 1 Corin. 13 and it tells be what love is but it doesn't really tell me how to apply it. I emailed a friend and he said something to the effect of love is giving and refered to John 3:16 and how God gave his son...
But I think Rob Bell explains it the best.
" Love is handing your heart to someone and taking the risk that they will hand it back because the don't want it."
" Love is a giving away of power"
"Love is a giving away"
"Love is giving up control"
Love is the biggest risk anyone can take.
Think about how God loves us therefore is gives us power to choose wheather we want to love him or not to love him. In the movie Bruce Almighty "God" tells bruce that he has power to do whatever he wants but he can not make someone love him.
Love is a risk and we can't force anyone to love us back all we can do is choose to love that person and let them choose what they want to do with it.
When we choose to give them the power to choose how they will respond we are taking a risk.
It is a big risk and God made it that way and he took that risk.
Why?
Because He knows what happens when we take that risks and the other person accepts it. Love is powerful and it conquers all.
Will you take that risk?
