Love is the nature and character of God because God is Love (1John 4:8).The earth was created by Love and is meant to be operated by love (1John 4:8; Gen. 1:1). Man was created in the image and likeness of Love to exist and function as a loving being (Gen. 1:27). The earth malfunctions because it attempts to function outside of its creative format. Man under-lives and miss-lives as he attempts to live outside his nature, the nature of love.
WHAT IS LOVE ALL ABOUT?
1a. Love is about treating others how you will love to be treated (Matt. 7:12)
1b. Love is about putting yourself in the shoes of others
2a. Love is about possessing a healthy consideration for the feelings, emotions and hurts of others. (Luke 10:25-37)
In your actions, you put human feelings into consideration
2b. Love is about sensitivity to the hurts and emotions of others
3a. Love is about the maintenance of goodwill and kindheartedness towards others (Luke 6:38; Gal. 6:1)
What you don’t like you must lack; what you don’t celebrate will not happen for you
You may not have anything to give to people but at least wish them well
No star is shining at the expense of another
Wish your spouse, colleagues and friends well
Don’t let someone bring bad news to you and you celebrate it
3b. Love is about the possession of thoughtfulness and positive feelings towards others
4a. Love is about adding to the joy and fulfilment in the lives of others
4b. Love is about giving others meaning and reason for living
This is putting smiles on the faces of people; you are the reason for their laughter
When was the last time somebody smiled because of you?
5a. Love is about making a positive difference in the lives of others
The purpose of contact is positive impact; contact without impact is a waste
5b. Love is about bringing positive change into the lives of others
There are those that bring disastrous change to the lives of others
When was the last time someone experienced change that is positive because of you?
6a. Love is about doing good for others without expecting repayment or rewards in return
When you do things for people because of what they can pay you, that is not love action, that is business transaction
6b. Love is about unconditional goodness and kindness towards others
7a. Love is about interrupting your schedule or journey to pay attention to someone in need
7b. Love is about making others the priority of your attention and effort, especially in their times
of desperate need (1Sam. 30:8; Job 42:10)
In the walk of love, once in a while, you set aside your life’s priority because someone is in need
Once in a while, the necessity of others demands that one sets aside their life’s priorities to help someone in need
8a. Love is about coming to the level of others, where necessary, in order to bring them up.
8b. Love is about stepping low, where necessary, to help the grounded and stranded.
