Perfect Love

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
