Love Never Forces

Can I be honest with you?
I sometimes am a little tired of people simply reciting the famous love chapter in the Bible...
If you are not familiar with it, you can check out in 1 Corinthians chapter 13. It simply to cool to just read through like a poem by some long dead writer!

It famously starts off by telling us what love isn't and then what love is.
I would encourage you to take your time reading every last word and meditating on the whole cool package it portrays.

Something occurred to me recently after pondering our world and how it is currently behaving and responding. Something I gravitated to while thinking about that in light of the "love chapter".
Love never forces.
Real love doesn't need to, because real love impacts everyone without the effort to make it such.

As a teenager most of us learn this the hard way.
We are attracted to someone and take our first stumbling bumbling steps towards what we think is the first and last true love of our loves. At some point one of you tries just too hard to make love happen.
When it fails, like it has for us all, I hear people ask what they did wrong, like they didn't try hard enough. You simply can't force love.

Right now our world needs real love, the love from the "love chapter".
Not love from the love boat or the love doctor.
It needs good old fashioned Biblical based love that can change any heart and change any situation.
We can't force it but we can surely express it...

Can I encourage you to read it and pray about how you can apply it to your place and space?

Something to think about...
