Destiny's Claim

Monday, December 13, 2004

Often times many philosophers ask this question, and come up with many answers. We see a lot of descriptions of love in the commercial world, especially so during Valentine's Day and other such events.

Some say love is a warm feeling that takes over your mind and soul when the person of your dreams comes by, that "butterflies in the stomach" you get when she looks at you, and the chills down your spine you experience when she calls your name.

Some say love is an ugly monster which brings your hopes high and lets you see the beauty of the world for just a moment and then takes it away from you, plunging you into the deepest of hells in torment of all you just saw but can never have.

Some say love is actions put to place when you have a "good feeling" about someone, helping with her work, or trying to make things easier for her.

I won't argue with the possible definitions of love, but I will state mine.

Love was when God became a man, trapped in time and space, without rank or place.
Love was when God came to this earth, in a manger small, to conquer our curse.
Love was when God chose to obey, though He created the universe at His say.
Love was when Jesus carried the cross, bleeding, whipped and flogged, bearing all our loss.
Love was how Jesus hung up in pain, and before He leaves cries "Father, forgive them".

Love was God, born to bleed and die, so to love and save one such as I.

Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend.
