Love

 I have not known what the word love means. 

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

Saint Augustine

One of the reasons I have had trouble in life is because I have not loved those I needed to love. 

What is Love?

One way to know what love means is to know Someone Who represents what love is. 

Someone exists Who is love 

1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 

By discovering God, Whoever He Is, you would know what love is. 

It can be hard to experience love if you have had love misrepresented to you.

God wants to remove everything that is not true that you have thought is true about love.

He wants to make real to you what love is.

1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest (made real) among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 

Someone Exists Who would bring you to a place of knowing Him that you would know that nothing to Him is more valuable than you.   God, Whoever He Is, wants to reveal what love is. 

There is no obstacle, no lack, no hurt, no past mistake, no grievance to great to the one who fully knows the extent of God's acceptance. If you and I are struggling in life it is most likely because we are struggling to know how much God loves us.   

I believe when you know and accept in your heart how much God in his heart loves you, you will be a lot more able to love from your heart. 

If you are not loving those you need to love, God, Whoever HE IS does not want to condemn you, instead He wants you turn back to representing  His love from your heart. 

Love: Wanting nothing more than God and in turn others of you to the same extent God wants nothing more than you and in turn others of you. 

Love:  Valuing God and others of you higher than all you are to the same extent God values you higher than all He IS
