Love is Humility……..

I have often tried to define and understand the word Love ,which means different things to different people. I have often times wondered what is true love? Ask anyone, What is Love? And the immediate answer would often reflect our deepest longings that shape what love is, flawless, fervor and fulfillment. For me love has always meant to be a feeling of oneness with others and is based on the understanding that we are not separate but essentially one and loving others is exactly the same as loving oneself. Love is a profound being and serene.
The basis of love is humility. Love does not have any arrogance or self-centered attitudes, .Love embodies selflessness and the wish to be of service without expecting anything in return, the purer the wish and our motivation, the more beautiful the love we give and receive.
Love is a source of energy that flows through human life. This fundamental energy is love , it is the power to nurture each other and help one another improve. The very presence of others is in itself love
The significance of love is to be found in the fact that we who have separated call out to each other trying to reunite and create greater happiness together. Human beings could not improve themselves if no one else existed, imagine being in a Robinson Crusoe situation.
The essence of love is to be found in the soul's desire to be reunited with God. As we live our individual lives with our different personalities ‘ we remember the ultimate parent.
Love can only be understood from the actions it prompts. When we bear with the failings and weaknesses of others, divine love reveals itself (Ephesians 4.2). At all costs, this love compels us to give so that we alleviate the suffering of others. Instead of seeking to fulfill our emotional and physical needs (receiving), we humbly give of ourselves ( 1 Peter 3.8-9).

In a response to, “What is Love?” it is erroneous to say “love is God.” God created love, not the reverse. He deliberately chose to express His love to us -- revealing the very nature of God Himself.
• God Is Sacrificial – God initiated an eternal love relationship with us before we loved Him ( 1 John 4.10)
• God Is Merciful – God extended the wealth of His kindness even when we were undeserving of His love ( Ephesians 2.4-5)
• God Is Faithful – Even in the most extreme circumstances, God’s love for us remains secure ( Romans 8.35,38-39) He did not need to create the universe. He made that choice as an expression of His ultimate love for us. Then God created us a certain way -- to experience all that perfect love was meant to be ( Song of Songs 4.9-10,8.6, 1 John 4.7-12)

“ . . . May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is” ( Ephesians 3.17-18)
The power that nurtures this everlasting life is the power of God's love.The very fact that energy lives forever is proof that the energy of love is being showered upon us eternally. For life to be eternal there must be a permanent source of energy the power of God that allows us to live eternally This is the very beginning of love.
Love is the power to nurture one another. An obstacle to love is anything that goes against these two ideas.
All negative emotions such as dissatisfaction, worry anger jealousy, envy, anguish have their roots in the belief that human life is limited to this world. To awaken to true love it is necessary to know that life is eternal.
The power to improve one another is in fact an attitude of giving to one another and a wish to benefit others. This I have understood is What Love is ….
