What is Love?

The mind boggling question that every man has yet to answer.

What is it really

How do you know you have it?

How do you know if one loves you?

ETC

My interpretation of love is not the feeling in your stomach when you see them.

Nor is it that all you think of them all the time. Yes you may have those feelings attached. But that’s not going to cut it.

Love to me is sacrifice. Both ways. I feel that if a man is willing to sacrifice something sacred for me, and our relationship then yes he loves me.  And the same way with me.

Why do I say sacrifice?

Well Look at our Heavenly father and his Son. God so loved the world that he SACRIFICED  His precious son for us. Jesus loved us so much that he agreed to sacrifice his life for us. He took the saying, “ I’d die for you” very literally. Jesus took the greatest humiliation to prove his love for his people. Now if that’s not love, I don’t know what is.

Now I’m not saying that the person has to give up his life for me to prove his love, but maybe its something that he does on the regular that will probably change him completely just for me. Whether it’s giving up sex before marriage, going out of his way to do something sentimental for me. It’s a willingness to sacrifice.

And we should also apply it to our daily lives as Christians and those wanting to gain a close relationship with God. We have to sacrifice the desires of our flesh so that we will be able to have a connection with him. Just like sacrificed the Life of His Son, so that we would have a connection with Him.
