Love

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

How can someone who has never known what is love know what love is?

What is Love? 

It can be hard to experience love if you have had love misrepresented to you. You can end up thinking something is true that is not true about love. 

It is my belief that the only way to truly know what love means is to know Someone Who represents what love truly means. 

Someone exists Who is love. This Someone wants to remove everything that you have thought is true that is not true about love.

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

 God, Whoever He IS, wants love to be made real to you. 

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 to you Who He 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 wants us.   

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

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

 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.
