Hey guys!I found a really good article on what true love is. It's a Christian article so that's a plus =) Do read it, it's really inspiring.Ehhh oops i can't post it up here cuz of copyright law, so go check out http://www.christiananswers.net/q-dml/dml-y030.html. Believe me, U'll understand what true love is. Even if u're not a Christian, it's good to read it. =)Basically, the main idea is that love isn't just emotions, but devotion and action. That really caught my attention. I've always thought that love IS an emotion, and u need emotions to express it to another person. However when I saw the word "devotion", it was as though it was something so important that i've missed out.Sure, I value commitment, I value respect, but devotion is even stronger than that. The article goes on to say,Christ was devoted to us enough to give up his own life, because he loves us so much.That's the biggest devotion ever! So you see, sometimes we can't expect so much from someone we love, sometimes we have to just be devoted and be patient. Avoid being paranoid that he/she will leave you, avoid jumping to conclusions. Stop thinking that he/she is bored of you! You can't make assume cuz it would really hurt you. PLus, the opposite might happen! He/she might be really sick of your paranoia that he/she starts to get bored of you or avoid you, so don't give him/her a chance to be bored of you at all! If two people are devoted to one another, there is a sure guarantee that nothing will go wrong! Remember, "Love is patient, love is kind...... it always protects, always trusts, always hopes." 1Corinthians 13:4-8Yep, that's what i wanna share with all of u! Hopefully i can remember what i've learnt from this and apply it to my life. Be devoted, and the relationship will definitely go well. =) This doesn't just refer to couples, but with friends and family too. So basically, it applies to everyone. Hope the article will impact u as much as it impacted me! =DJojo
