NO GREATER LOVE (2)

Love is patient, love is kind. Love is everything that is found in 2 Corinthians 13:4-8 and if you put up anything against these and it does not stand, then it is not love. You know why? Because The One Who Is Love said so!

Idealism! Do I hear you say I am being idealistic? Do I hear you say it is not possible?

I have heard and I have read, I have watched and I have seen, scene after scene, word after word, sickness after sickness, spouting out of abused minds who think that loving is possible without Love.

You take the Manufacturer out and hope to get the machine to work. It’ll work alright but it would never work all right. I want to know what the Father had in mind when He invented love between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24). I want to know what He had in mind when He commanded love amongst brethren (1John 3:10). I want to know what He had in mind when He directed that I love my neighbor as myself (Matthew 22:39). Above all I want to know Him, the Perfect, Utmost and Complete definition of Love (Matthew 22:36-38).

I know He woos me, loves me enough to guide me. Sometimes this love and guidance include chastisement but at the end of it is sweetness only pleasing God can give (Hebrews 12:11). I know He heals me, delivers me, saves me in ways that no man can.

I know it is a tall order for any man, for any one to satisfy another and that is why I ask - why place such a tall order on anyone, any man or woman, instead of just directing them to the One Who Can Handle it, the One with Whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:13)? Why place such a tall order on anyone in dreams you feed their future wives, husbands and friends that they can never meet up to because they were never designed to?

Why don't we direct people to God? When we direct folks to God we direct them to the Only One who can make anything meaningful, everything meaningful out of their lives- their existence and their relationships.

He can handle their excesses - mine and yours as well, their failings -mine and yours as well, their weaknesses -mine and yours as well, and not be exhausted! No, not by a jot.  He can handle it- He paid the price for it!

 Instead of feeding people lies, lies and more lies, exchanging their lives and destinies for fantasies that will never hold, why don’t we direct people to the Place and the One in whom they will never find another to surpass Him in Love because it is His Nature, it is who He is? 

Instead of telling people lies, sowing seeds of discontent and breaking homes  before they are built why don't we direct people to The One outside of whom there is No Greater Love. 

He does know the Truth about love. He is Love.
