is love a feeling?
:
what a question man. That was my first thought when someone asked me that question. how to answer? lol. At first thot i think love is a natural feeling that God put inside all of us. We are made to love something someone anything! Even if you are an emo guy in one corner hating the world, you LOVE hating the world! Just kidding. Going off topic. Anyway love is something that a human being would naturally do. It's human nature! It's not so much of a responsiiblity or a burden. But it is just natural behavior. So i think that was what my friend was asking, is love MORE than a feeling?
When I asked another friend what was his view, he told me that there are different kinds of love. Suddenly that trigger off another whole new viewpoint. There are motherly love, fatherly love, sibling love, BGR, friend friend love, etc. People need to be loved to know that they are valued. Ya just to incorporate a little gospel magic here, people who dont feel love will go down disastrous things. Thats why you must know that God loves you! Haha.
Let's focus on loving people (not things, or actions) now. I think that firstly people need to love and be loved, to see the beauty and the value of the person. "Love your neighbour as yourself." Secondly, I think there's both right and wrong love. Our love should be honoring to God, as simply put. It is not lust, not dishonoring to parents, loving the person for who the person is really is, ya. There's something a few friends told me about which i cant agree on is that there is an age requirement to go into BGR. (e.g. you can only have girlfriend when you are 18 years old) Thankfully my church doesnt have this rule. :D But however, I think the intentions of this rule are good, but are doing it the wrong way. I think the purpose is for people who want to enter BGR to have some sort of maturity and wisdom (hopefully) before entering into it, so that they wouldnt do stupid acts. However by putting this rule it is as though God's will for people to enter BGR will only begin after 18 years old. Vague and baseless (ie not biblical) assumption dont you think?
Looking at all my friends having BGR, I'm really wanting to have one too. But can't find the right person. My friends are like 3 by now? Lol. I think I go for girls not for looks, really. I really hope that my will would be to remain single forever. "12For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." Matt 19:11-12 But I think let God soverign will control my life! Haha. God has a good, pleasing and perfect will for me and I'm willing to follow that!
God is my first love. **how chessy..lol**
