love love love

Questions I have been asking myself:

Is it possible to fall in love in a second? Is there a decision, an instant of letting it go?
And is it possible to love one person and long for another? Is that foul play?
Is it possible to be in love with two people at once? Can you fall out of love in a second; an instant of letting go?

I ask myself all of these questions. There are no answers yet.

Here's my take on love:

Love is something you gain when you sacrifice things of your world for anothers. You sacrifice your wants, your longings, your desires. Some say there is selfish love, when you want somebody for your needs, when you love them to complete your feelings. For example, if a couple breaks up, and one person needs space and realizes that someone else makes them happy, the other party in the previos relationship would often get angry, and try to talk them out of it. That's selfish. If this decision truly makes them happy, and you 'love' them, isn't that your ultimite goal?

If you have a best friend, you hurt when they hurt. You are excited when they are, and overall, you truly want them to be happy, and not because it in turn makes you heppy, just because you put them before you.

This isn't to say disregard everything in your life-- I also strongly beleive it is important to fill your love with also the love of Christ- to be an example in every way possible, to be a spiritual leader. I think this is love. I think it's often mistaken for jealousy, lust, and just ignorance.

I think there are levels of love. The young love, that you can feel at a young age for someone, but it's an immature love because your mind hasn't developed everything needed in a fulfilling love. It requires sacrfice, obedience, communication, just an understanding that can only come with maturity and experience.

I think you can love more than one person, but that's where sacrifice comes in. I don't think there is a moment of falling out of love, more of an understanding that it's a point in your life where you need to be in a different place, and your heart is able to let go.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

"Rest Easy, have no fear. I love you perfectly, and perfect love drives out fear."
