Love is like a Cross

What better way to get in the groove to a great start into a new month than looking forward to the force that lies within.  It is the power house to greatness, the seed of your purpose and the will to succeed.  Just like any other you cannot seek that which you think you don’t have, in others.  Love for example is sought by many whether or not there is a full understanding of what this word actually means.  We tend to look to man to fulfill this void when we should be looking within. 

Greater is He that is in me so I put my confidence in Him that shows me divine Love (1 John 4:4 NKJV).  Love is limitless in its magnitude and definition so there is no one interpretation of its expression.  Consider it in all our being, through our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

I always believed that our thoughts and feelings work simultaneously with our actions in that our feelings and thoughts influence each other and it’s through our actions that we execute them.  In other words, if a person is feeling love/unlove, his/her thoughts will also manifest such emotions (feelings) and it will show in the way they choose to express love to others (actions).  

Likewise in relationships, if your partner has a limited perception or no view at all when it comes to love then his/her feelings and thoughts towards you is set on those limitations.  As a result, his/her actions will not align with your expectations of what love is supposed to be and you will end up feeling hurt, disappointed, and angry.  With time you will also heightened these negative feelings into bitterness and unforgiveness.

Therefore, seek everything that you think you need within yourself first.  When you can identify your needs and values in a relationship, you will be better able to choose a partner that is in perfect alignment.  STOP thinking that he/she will grow or mature or better yet, CHANGE.  When a person show you who they are and what they are about, believe it and then decide if you are willing to accept them just the way they are.

After all, Love is like denying yourself, picking up your cross and following Jesus daily (Matt 16:24 NKJV).  Its in the most eminent form to embrace and give Love unselfishly.  Through sacrifice of self, there is proof of Love; a joyful heart is one that is at peace and have the power to exercise self-control.  Rest assured that the clear path to happiness is to choose to share your life with others by a way of life that is alignment with a Love for God.
