Love the truths in this message so much. I choose to receive the love of God in the depths of my being, that this love may flow from me to others in all its life-giving power.
Its a profound distinction, between love as a choice and commitment versus being driven by fleeting emotions. Love in this deeper sense is more about consistent action and dedication rather than just warm feelings. It's choosing to act for someone's good even when the emotions aren't there. Like getting up in the middle of the night to care for a crying baby, or supporting a friend through a difficult time even when it's inconvenient. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about agape love - a deliberate, unconditional commitment to others' wellbeing that transcends how we feel about them at the moment. The irony is that by choosing to act in loving ways consistently, we often find the positive emotions eventually follow. The feelings grow out of the commitment rather than the other way around. It's similar to how long-term relationships deepen through faithfulness in both good times and challenging ones. **True love of higher nature is anchored in choice rather than emotion?
Ty thank you! I see my self and wounder why Jesus Loves me. You have helped me understand so much.
