LESSONS TAUGHT BY LOVE …..


So the one thing that fascinates me more than anything else in the world, the one thing that I passionately want to know and understand is LOVE, because like Mike Murdock says, “Love is a Devine Seed that has relentless unending harvest. “I am aware that at the tender age of 27, there is still so much more to life and love that I am still going to experience, learn and understand, yet at the same time Love has taught me some valuable lessons that I do believe will be of value to you .

One thing I do know is that Love, supersedes the physical realm, it’s rarely found in the hug, in the kiss, but it is deeply entrenched in the spirit, it is Spirit, for it is God. Love is the God inspired, God infused, God led desire to make a decision to daily place great value on the needs of another. Love discerns the discomforts of others and the passionately and vigorously endeavors to be the answer or provide a solution to that discomfort.

As a woman the one thing that we love the most, is to be listened to, contrary to men who are more physical beings, for us it’s the small things, like listening to us, that minsters to us the most.
Therefore LOVE is the willingness to listen, not just to hear, but to listen with interest. I have found that you will invest time into the lives of people that you love the most, whether you are aware of it or not, but there are people in our lives, that even if they would wake us up 3am in the morning needing our help, we would race out of bed to assist them, why? because those are the people we love the most and LOVE does that, it invest time in people.

 One thing that I have learned is that those that really love me, correct me, and I am able to receive correction from them, because I know that the root of this correction is LOVE. It has also taught me never to allow someone I care about to live uncorrected, their success means more to me than their affection. And last but certainly not least, the proof of love is in the swiftness to forgive.
We do not forgive just because the Word instructs us to, but we do so because every day we also need to be forgiven and one day we will also need mercy. My closing question to you today is: Whose comfort has become your obsession?
