The message of God and love is universal.

Mélanie BerlietAugust 22, 2016

Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.

Reading the Bible and obeying God is not law or a have-to. It is something that is of the heart – it is motivated by love. If you think about it as a law or a religious duty, then you will fail in developing this habit. You need to understand that God loves you and gave you His Word to guide and help you. When you see it that way, reading the Bible and obeying it will be a joy and delight. You will be inspired to read because you want your love to grow and your character to mature.

Human love is directed to the other person for his own sake, spiritual love loves him for Christ's sake. Therefore, human love seeks direct contact with the other person; it loves him not as a free person but as one whom it binds to itself. It wants to gain, to capture by every means; it uses force. It desires to be irresistible, to rule.
