This world seems to Love only those who Love them.On what do I base my statement? First I'll ask that great old question:What is Love?. There are many point of views and descriptions of Love and it is a very extensive subject and many arms of it so lets just skip all of that and go to the highest form of Love; Agape[ah-gah-pey]which is self sacrificial Love,it involves an act of will where one seeks the best for another it is not led by emotion rather genuinely heart felt.It is continous;not minding the good or the bad of the person bieng loved.Unchangeing under any circumstance. BEAUTIFUL!! Seems doable when it comes to the motherly care for her child or towards your loving mother but what about that 'idiot' that just cut you off on a jammed highway,on the worst day of your life then right then he turns out to be the cutting off point, making you sit an extra hour in traffic!? 'stupid idiot!!!' UGHH!!!!' Understandable. As humans we will react humanly.So,how can we demonstrate that type of Agape Love in every situation? We can't. Atleast not by ourselves. (read on below)

Let's see,how can I go about this? I'm not fond of alot of blah,blah,blah. Understand, also, I'm not religious in the sense as to following a set of religious rules either but to further explain Agape Love, I have no escape but to go to the root of it all.[I like roots]. Here we go,like I said we cannot do this by ourselves even if we try and succeed for a time, it will fail us sooner or later because of our human nature,praise our efforts,we mean well but get this, if Love is not rooted in something it will soon die off, wear off, fade away, whichever. Just like a plant!.Plant it,soil it,water it,watch it grow but with those flimsy roots,they will surly make it die off.

Agape Love: to highly value,unconditionaly to have at heart the genuine welfare and best interest of another.It includes a rational commitment and motivation to maintain a relationship even in the face of problems.It directs kindness,respect and loyalty toward another.

Who is the creator of Love? Where are its roots? We've heard "God is Love" [John 4;8] Ok, well that to me says He is.I can't say 'I am Love' but I can say 'I am Loved' let me further explain this just a bit,see, if i say 'I am Love' well, i can't, I'm human, a bound to fail human! Noway that I'm the root of Love! but as a human I do delight in it. Ok then,how can we have His Pure True Love flowing through our daily lives? [Yes,with all of our fellow human kindreds; the good the bad and the ugly] John 15;5 tells us that without Him we can do nothing that we must abide[dwell,sink deeper] in Him.How? Obedience.Further down it tells us [v.10] that if we keep His commandments[His word] we will abide in His Love.You may say 'Great!!, obedience?' 'So now, to truly Love we have to keep these religious commandments?'

Well don't quit just yet. This a a a- gape Love thing is so much easier done once discovered.Discover it by relationship with Him. See, let me quickly explain, I've learned that a person obeys by submitting oneself to authority out of fear to avoid consequences;an external act.[ex:obeying traffic laws.] Now submission is to put oneself willingly under the order of an authority with an internal joy.It is to obey with delight! and not to avoid consequences;so this is an internal act.get it?

See when you start having a relationship with Him you start knowing Him, the more you know Him the more you start experiencing this True Agape Love naturally within you.It will come easy for you to joyfully obey Him and to genuinly Love others.Not externally wearing you religiously out and feeling even more frustrated.

Ok, so,we accept our human bound to fail nature,we can't do nothing by ourselves [genuinely],Love is the greatest gift of all and we try to exercise it the best we know and understand how.Lets see,the root of Love is God,therefore true genuine Love only can come from Him, so now how do we extract from that Love? Abiding in Him in keeping His commandments,which is His word.

Now in Matthew 5:44-48 we are told to 'Love our enemies,to bless those who curse us,and to do good to those who hate us...for if we Love those who Love us, what reward have we? and if we say hi to our known only, what do we do more than others?' We are to do the unusual! I mean who in their natural mind would bless the woman that 'stole' her husband, destroying and ripping the family apart or bless the man that ran away with your hard earned goods? no one! but guess what? it is possible.I've done it many many times and quite honestly, I'm much happier and content because of it.Think about it,why carry that load on you. Life happened to you, shove it off and move on.I Love myself to hurt myself.

 Even if in our judgment people don't fit to deserve our blessing, bless anyhow, make it a habit, start in your mind and in small actions.Example: the next time you're at the grocery store parking lot and you're just about to pull in the ever wanted front space and ...zoom!! out of nowhere, right under you, this 'jerk' pulls right in..... STOP! THINK! and say 'bless your heart' even if you have to grin and bear it. Now, if you want to go a bit further, pick up your hand, put a smile on and wave [DO NOT PICK UP ANY SINGLE FINGERS!]and dont forget to pull away,gently. Believe me, over time you will be a much happier soul.

Lets sum it up.To my conclusion, without God in our daily lives we can't genuinly Love. He is Love.To extract any thing from Him we've got to have a relationship with Him.Now I know many have lived and loved in even decades of a beautiful marriage and yes I do believe that there is a Love that has kept them together and what about a mothers Love [which I feel is the strongest we humanly can experience naturally] but inviting and allowing the Higher Love in our lives makes it a complete bind that extends to even those that don't seem to deserve it in our own opinion.Just like an upgrade.Let our Love not be of a selfish manner Loving only those that Love us,lets invite agape Love in our lives.We need to plant ourselves and let our 'flimsy' roots attach to His,extracting that Agape Love to be executed everywhere!

Remember: You can't give what you don't have. Agape Love.
