REALIZE THAT GOD LOVES YOU LOve is a powerful emotion, perhaps the strongest of human emotions. People will go to great lengths to express love, and they will do almost anything to get love. According to the great writer C. S. Lewis he identified four different kinds of love, all but one of which are basically self-centered. First, there's affection, which is the kind of love we can have for something other than people, such as a dog or a home or a car. Then there's friendship, a valuable love in the sense that it's the basis of most human relationships. And there's erotic love, which is beautiful between a husband and wife but a mess outside of married love. All of these are wonderful and necessary loves, but each of them depends on the object of our affection for complete fulfilment. The only love that is completely other -centered is called agape love. This is love of the highest order. It's what Lewis called "Divine Gift-Love". When we love with agape love we desire the best for the people we love. We are even able to love those who are unlovable. What kind of love are you now into? Do you have one or still on the process? Love to see your comments and experiences in the comment section.
