Love is a word most often taken for granted, and quite often misused. Webster will tell you that Love is ” a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person”The Urban dictionary even goes so far as to state; Love “nature’s way of tricking people into reproducing”
Dictionary.com offers these definitions: a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. 3. sexual passion or desire. 4. a person toward whom
love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.

The Bible tells us in, I Corinthians 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing.
So I understand this to mean that without love everything else is worthless without the presence of love. You can speak about love but unless you know und understand love the word are worthless.
The Bible also goes on to state in the following verses: 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Now if you believe this to be true then there would be no hatred in the world. You would not hate your neighbor, co-worker, ex-husband/wife, or the girl next door. If you actually believed this to be true would there be divorce?
I hear too many times, God doesn’t want me to be unhappy…I don’t have to deal with this! or it is not that much love in the world! Why not is my question? Why would you take a vow before God and your family, spend thousands of dollars on a ceremony, and promise to love someone until death we do part when what you really mean is; until you no longer meet my selfish needs, until you make me angry, until I meet someone else that turns me on more, until you no longer validate me or in a nutshell “Until I won’t like you anymore”?
I Corinthians 13 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
We speak of faith daily, We claim hope constantly, but where is the love? We judge, we are envious, we are prideful, we behave rudely to those we claim to love, constantly brag about our accomplishments and things that we have acquired, and the minute someone does or says something that we do not like we abandon ship. That my friends is not Love as I understand it.
Love is the greatest gift yet we feel as if we are entitled to it with no real understanding or reciprocation. How can we love when we don’t even know what love is? Most of us don’t even love ourselves yet expect for someone else to love us. you can’t even receive love because there is no pathway. Your heart may not even recognize the true feeling of love.
I offer to you my revelation of Love: God is Love, Love is God, God lives in me, I am Love.
When you have salvation, which is peace and fulfillment, you will learn to live life in total abundance. You will learn to live life as if you have everything you need and appreciate everything you have and never live in a state of lack or fear. You live in a state of joy that depends on nothing and is non-conditional that requires nothing outside of itself.It is not a fleeting experience, it is, on the contrary, an immutable presence. It is to “know God”
Until you come to this knowing, yes I say knowing because this cannot simply be understood. Until you can access this level of consciousness and live in the frequency of this presence you will continue to experience failed and flawed relationships. You will continue to experience the feeling of lack. There will always be a feeling of desperation. You will find it almost impossible to feel complete. A life of abundance is waiting for you. Are you ready?
In closing I ask the question again;
What’s love got to do with it?
I answer in repetition; ” God is Love, Love is God, God Lives in me, I am Love”.
Love is my religion
Namaste’
