Love is Eternal



I have said it before, and I will say it again.
You cannot un-love someone.

I do not believe in falling out of love.
Oh, we can forget, and we can let the fire of romance dim over time, perhaps. We humans fall victim to the rut of boredom. We constantly believe the lie of laziness, and just give up the effort of fighting for someone, for the love you have with them, either because we don't see them as worth it anymore, or we think we've found something better and more worth our time.

But really, I don't care what your excuse is.
Either you love someone, and always will; or you don't love them, and never did.

Let's start with this basic root of reason:
God is Love.

We all know that to be true, right?

Alright, then how about:
God is eternal.

Yup, we pretty much all know that...

Then let's try this:
If God is Love... and God is eternal... then Love is eternal.

What do they call this is geometry? The Transitive Property of Congruence? (Yeah, I looked that up.) Basically, it says that "If AB = CD, and CD = EF, then AB = EF".
(I'm a little grumpy to admit that math actually plays into real life.)

So, back to my point.
Don't say you used to love someone. False. If you seriously don't love someone now, then you never did. Love doesn't work that way- it's permanent, and immortal.
Now, if you're certain that you really did love someone, once upon a time, then believe this: you still do.

You might not feel it. But it isn't about fuzzy feelings.
You need to fight for it back. You need to make that first step toward the effort of redeeming your love, because it is the most precious thing you will ever have on this physical earth. It's also the only thing you will have that lasts beyond this earth. Look past the lies of laziness, hopelessness, and anger.
Those things are going to burn up in the end.
What really matters?

Love is the fulfillment of the Law. Love covers over all wrongs. God is Love.
God gave us His Son. He gave us His All. He gave us His Love. It's all we need, it's what we were made for.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Those words are telling us how to Love.
So we are shown how to Love, and we are shown that we should Love, all demonstrated by God and by Jesus His Son.

What are we waiting for?

PS. Loving someone isn't about what you're going to get back from it. You're most likely going to be hurt somewhere along the way. But when we Love, we draw closer to God and we become who we were created to be. We live for Him, we Love for Him. And only Good comes from that.
