Three Things We Cannot Live Without/ “LOVE”

21. November 2007 by PWK.

    I thought this would be an easy topic to write about. Every body has an idea of what love is and can tell a loving attitude from a harsh one. Then I realized that there is no unit of measurement to quantify love. Therefore love is not something we can rationalize. How then can we define Love, if there is such a thing?

    A lot of us seek love in our family circle. But, love is not always there. Some seek love in a matrimonial relationship. But again Love is not always there. And then we turn to friends thinking that we got it this time. But Love is not there to be found.
At this point, some turn to alcoholism, others to substance abuse, and an unspoken number to “work-o-holism.” One of my professors once told me that he does not believe there is such a thing called “Love.” He expressed some of his disappointments with life. I believe we can relate to this man at times. We cumulate frustrations, and confusions just by living. Often we feel lonely and rejected. In times like that, even closed friends seem to be distant, and we wonder:

Is there anyone who understands?

Is there anyone who cares?

    And yet, the God of all creations understands and loves us more than we can even imagine. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
The Love of God is unconditional. Regardless of who we are, or what we have done, God loves us. And the power of His love has changed my life and millions of others around the world and across the cultures.

    God gave us his best. From my experience no one can effort to live without Jesus. What you discover in Him are things like, Grace, Joy, peace, comfort, healing, restoration of the soul, but most importantly “Love.” If you know Him, you will trust Him. If you know Him, transformation will occur in your life. If you know Him, streams of living water will flow from within you, as mentioned in John 7:37.
This is the assurance we get from the Bible:

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

    Would you accept the Love of God manifested through Jesus Christ?
If your answer is yes, Pray this with me.

Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God.
I repent of my sins.
I receive you in my heart as my Lord and savior.
Everything in me is yours.
From this day on, I choose to walk according to your ways.
I have prayed in Jesus name.
Amen!
