Love is a package deal

The secret to loving is living loved. 7:47 principle.
You have a ticket to heaven no thief can take,
an eternal home no divorce can break.
Every sin of your life has been cast to the sea.
Every mistake you've made is nailed to the tree.
You're blood-bought and heaven-made.
A child of God- forever saved.
So be grateful, joyful - for isn't it true?
What you don't have is much less than what you do.
my heart went "aww.." when i read this poem. and my heart went "ahhhh.." upon reading many chapters of e book.
God's view of love is like all mom's view of food. When we love someone, we take the entire package. No picking and choosing. No large helpings of the good and passing on the bad. Love isn't a cafeteria line where u can say yes to the fried fish and no to the fried tomatoes. Love doesn't accept just a few things. Love is willing to accept all things. "love..bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things" 1 Cor. 13:4-7.
and you wouldn't noe of such a love if you hadn't receive of it from God. but to many, it's hard to love in certain situations. The angered fren is nodding. the heartbroken mother is nodding. the rejected kid is nodding. Rejection breeds anger. Think about it. you hurt and tt's y u're mad. anger is ur defense mechanism. N rejections r more common in our daily lives than ..(thinks of a lousy analogy) ERP gantries on expressways. one thing i've learnt is tt.. i cannot keep ppl from rejecting me. but i can keep rejections from enraging me. how? by letting God's acceptance compensate for tt.
im keeping tt reminder tt anger is trash to my heart. i would rather load my world with flowers from God=)
'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails'. 1 cor. 13.
Max.L made an interesting pt in his book. try replacing the word 'love' in this bible passage with ur name. EHHhh. u will probably stop at e first few phrases. well i did. haha. No one can meet such standards, no one except Christ. Now try inserting Christ's name in this passgage n see if it runs true.
'Jesus is patient, Jesus is kind. Jesus does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud. He is not rude, he is not self seeking, he is not easily angered, he keeps no record of wrongs. He does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Jesus never fails'
Let this passage remind u not of e love u can't produce.. but the love tt we cannot resist- God's love.
everybody say.."woowww.."
