The Love of
God is different.
So
different, that what we call love, would fade in comparison.
It is not a
teenager’s love.
Not the
love that starts out feeling like “this is it”, “this will last forever”, so
intense and strong, but then fades as time goes by. Disappears almost without
anyone noticing. You just discover it one day. It’s gone. Gods Love is nothing
like that.
It’s not
like the love of a married couple.
It’s not
love that you have to fight for, work on for the rest of your life. A love you
decide, as a couple, “we will fight for this”. Gods Love is not a love that
chooses to love – and then expects booth parts to fight for it, to keep it
strong. Gods Love is not like that.
It’s not
like the love between siblings.
It’s not a
love that stands strong, until the day someone does something unforgivable; and
there is no wish to keep in touch, no communication. Where one will hold on to
anger, rather than love, it cost too much to ignore ones pride. Gods Love is
not like that.
It’s not
like the love of friends.
Friends who
share the good and bad of life, but then loose contact as the years go by. Or is divided by a fight, friendship that
can’t make room for anyone else. Gods Love is nothing like that.
It is not
like the love of parents.
The love
that sometimes stays hidden, that the parents don’t know how to show. It is not
like the love that sometimes looses its temper. It is not like the love of a
parent who turns away from their child. It is not even like the love of the
most loving parents, Gods Love is bigger than that.
The love
that we know in our lives, from the people around us is not perfect love. Some
times it might give us a hint of what Gods Love is like. But the love we know
is like a bright, weak pink; Gods Love would be vibrant red. It doesn’t even
look like the same color, even though they both contain red.
Gods Love
is different
Gods Love
is not unsecure
It is not
depending on how you feel
It is not
something the two of you have to work on to keep intact
It is not
something a fight will break, or take away from you
It is not
just something you feel
It will
never fade
It will
never grow
It will
never change
It is
constant
It is full
It is safe
You cannot
break it
Nor throw
it away
You cannot
make it weaker
Nor make it
stronger
It is
unchangeable
You cannot
remove yourself from it
Or stray to
far away for it to reach you
You may not
always feel it
It is still
there
You do not
deserve it
It is still
there
The Love of
God is not something you can stop
You can
ignore it, for ass long as you will
It is still
there
You cannot
change that
You can
refuse to receive it
It will
still be heading your way – constantly.
Gods Love
is not a love that gives up, and turns away
Gods Love
reaches for you
Always
It finds
you when you try to hide
It never
looses hope
Hope that
you one day will say yes, and start receive
Unending
Love
The Love of
God
John
3:16-17
1Corinthians
13
There is no
way of describing perfect Love
You have
the chance to receive it
Until then,
you’ll never know what Love could be
Or what
Love really is
