Love and lies
So today I had this really really incredibly long conversation with my parents and sister that was kinda interesting. They were talking about how the elections went yesterday (which I voted in...woohoo me), and mom was going off on one of those "society does this" thingies, and yeah. I've decided that most of the evils in the world come from all the lies that society feeds people about love. The one thing that people crave the most, the one thing people cannot live without, is love. God created us that way. Without love, our lives are just not worth living. Now, the lie comes in that society tells people that in order to get this love we all crave, we must find somebody (a person) who can fill this longing. There is no way you can be happy with out another person there to fill that longing for love. Oh, and the other part, you can not really belive that a person loves you until you get them to sleep with you, because that is the ultimate sign of love right? WRONG! It drives me crazy how many people put the focus of their lives on sex. So, here are my thoughts on this.
First, we have established that we all have the need for love. Well people, it isn't that hard to find. As I've said in other posts, God is love. He is right there, just waiting for you to accept him. You cannont make love on your own. It just doesn't work like that. And if you don't have love within yourself, how can you expect to be able to share any of that without just taking? The first step to finding true and everlasting love is to find it in God and yourself. You have got to build a relationship of trust and love in God first. You have got to learn to love yourself as a child of God. Not defining yourself by if you have a girl friend/boy friend. But because you were created by God, and you are loved by him. So in order to find love, you have to give yourself up to God and there you will find the perfect love you crave. Now it can be hard because there are times that you want a physical something to show your love, but that is ok, God created us with that desire, but yeah, that is step number one.
Second, love is not something that happens. You don't "fall in love" it is not something that "just happens" or that you "couldn't control". Love is a choice. Love is the choice to do what is absolutly best for the other person. Not what feels best, but what IS best. That may not always be the easiest thing, but hey, such is life. Love is a two way street which is why you have to have that love in yourself first. Only then can you share that love with another person.
People who go around spending their whole lives looking for love, and when their relationships don't work out, they get all upset thinking that they now don't have love anymore. Just so sad that people have been brainwashed this way. Too many people have taken God out of their everyday lives. Even the smallest things. But if only we could remember that God is always our source of love and joy, maybe we could be just a bit better off. But anyway, I think I'll cut this one off there. More to say, but I'll give that later. Love to all!
