The Art of Love

 

The Art of Love

Love is the art of understanding and identifying ourselves with them.

Love is identifying self with the loved person in understanding; Love isn't about you but the loved one. Love is accepting the friend unconditionally; Love takes to open our minds to different people. It takes amusement about how different and wonderful the other creation of God is. Love always trusts.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:7

If we put everyone in the same category and judge them in the same way, we are incapable of loving others. We need to understand everyone as if we have never known human beings. It takes a customized approach of understanding towards every one of them. We can't judge everyone in a "one size fits all" approach.

The true color of love isn't known in the "Valentine's Day" atmosphere. Love isn't known in the day of "bed of roses"

If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength! Proverbs 24:10

Love is tested when the receiver of your love are at their lowest. It is tested when the friend needs you the more than you need them. Love is tested when the loved is moody. Love is tested when the loved looks not happy in anything at all. Love is tested when the loved doesn't see your benefit. It is tested when the loved think they are fine without you. Love is tested when your presence looks a hindrance instead of a blessing. Love is tested when you don't feel like talking to a friend but you have to do it to avoid a communication gap. Your love is tested when you don't feel welcomed but it is the right thing to do to be around. It is tested when you feel like giving everything and receiving nothing. Love is tested when you don't see hope in the friendship and contemplating giving up. It is tested when you have to overlook the mistake of the loved one once again. Love is tested when the loved one complained instead of being grateful. Love is tested when the loved one suspects your intention to be impure. It is tested when your friend doesn't understand where you are coming from and understands the same thing differently. It is tested when you have to wait longer than you expect.

There is a season of sowing and there is also a season of reaping.

No one is strong in every area of life. Every weakness has incredible strength behind it. I have never seen a strong person without unexpected weaknesses. We enjoy an area of the person’s life, gift, and talent and bear with the other area. Weakness is the call of covering it to enjoy the strength. It takes wisdom to overlook the person’s weakness and not be discouraged by it. It takes wisdom to see to the strength beyond the weakness. It takes wisdom to have patience in the season of weakness to enjoy the time of strength.

Love is the most rewarding investment. It works every time. Love doesn't fail.

Love never fails 1 Corinthians 13:8

Love has a 100% success rate. The dumbest persons on earth can know when they see one. The most ignorant will recognize it. Love is original. Love is not made counterfeit.

Love comes only from God. It is the greatest undeniable testimony. When people see the love they can't help but praise the Lord who is the source of Love. When people see the love in us, they will definitely be encouraged to love others including us. One of the most important human needs is to feel safe. When people see our love for them, they will feel safe and will be comfortable to give themselves to us to others more.

It takes the love of God poured into our hearts to enable us to accept one of his wonderful creatures as they are. It takes to support them at their level without changing them. It takes to add value to them without criticizing them for who they are. It takes bringing the best out of them by refusing to be distracted by the negative. Help them to be the best they can. It takes to accept them without comparing them with someone different from them. It takes to focus on what you bring to the relationship instead of what you get from it. It takes to focus on your responsibility to the relationship instead of on the benefit out of it. It takes to go the extra mile to meet them when you feel they have to come and apologize. It takes to take responsibility for what you would have done better when the relationship goes wrong instead of the "it is all the friend's fault" approach. It takes sincerely asking "did I contribute anything to the problem?" It takes continual learning and promising to be a better person.
