what i have learn today!!
let me share wif u god's word!!XD
title:what is love
we were made to love and to be loved.god is love (1 john 4:16),and the beings made in his image neeed to experience love.Among the spiritual virtues found in the bilble,love stands preeminent . it is no wonderthe devil has worked hard to distort its meaning .
True love beings with god .Only his love can fill the emtiness in our hearts.The people we date and even marry can never meet our deepest needs In (1 john 3:16)we read,''this is how we know what love is :Jesus christ laid down his life for us ''God the son valued us so much,he was willing to syffer and die on the cross so that we could have a meaningful relationship wif him.He loves us unconditionally ,even though we can never repay him.god's definition of love is a committed,sacrifical,and uncondition love.Tis kind of love that and solid frnship,dating,and marrige relationship must be buid on .God's way of love is the key to a significant life and to meaningful relationship.In order to love god's way,we must first experience god's love peronally.Only when we know we are loved just for who we are ,and we are secure in god's love,can we share that with others.XD today,the worldlovehas been misconstrued in several ways.One misconception is,love is sex.hollywood has bombarded the media with this definition.wheen two people are "in love" in the movies,they immediately get sexually involved.biblically,however,the proper place for sex is in marriage.there are at least two commitments involved in the institution of marriage.First,there is the commitments each parther makes to honer,protect,and be faithful to the other for life.second,true marriage involved a commitment to the larger society to abide by these principles.thus in a healthy society,the indiidual's failure to keep these commitments is recognized as social irresponsibelity and the violation of a covenant.seen from this vantage point,sex outside the context of marrige is not only selfish indulgence and exploitation,but also social anarchy on a small scale becos it threatens the stability of socielty since it is based on the bedrock of marriage .THE END
young man Was at the end of his rope, Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees In prayer "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, If you can't bear its weight, Just place your cross Inside This room. Then, open that other door And pick out any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did As he was told. Upon entering the Other room, he saw many crosses; Some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross Leaning Against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in." When life's problems seem overwhelming, It helps To look around and see What other people are coping with. You may consider yourself Far more fortunate than you imagined. YOUR CROSS Whatever your cross Whatever your pain There will always be sunshine After the rain Perhaps you may stumble Perhaps even fall But God's always there To help you through it all Funny how you can send a thousand "jokes" through E-mail and they spread like wildfire, But when you start sending messages Regarding the Lord, People think twice about passing it on. Funny, isn't it, When you go to forward this message, How many on your buddy list will not receive it Because you're not sure they believe in anything? Funny? No! Sad, and thought-provoking... May God give you the strength and courage !
