The Uncertainty of Love

Love is the short word that you learn to say and spell at a really young age. It's the word you sign your name with at the bottom of a letter or a note. It's a verb, an action. But, is it really only a doing word?

1. Human love is uncertain. With love you take a jump into the unknown, a leap of faith. Following someone's apparent love. You don't know what's around the corner or what tomorrow might bring, whether it be joy or sadness. The uncertainty of love. The not knowing of who will walk in and out of your life. The uncertainty of love. But when you're with the person or thing you love, every fear and worry seems so distant and unimportant, contentment sets in and you are happy. The uncertainty of love. The short lived love that greets you in the morning with a kiss and says good night to you with words. The uncertainty of human love. You sadly don't know when this human existence will fade and the humanly love you once knew will no longer be of value or importance. Human love is not promised and if it is, that promise

However...

2. God's love is certain. With God's love you also take a jump, a leap of faith! It's an adrenaline filled love! A   passionate, irrational, costly and excessive love! God's love is unconditional and deep. His mercy and abundance flows like a river that never dries up, if God's grace was the sea then we'd all be sinking because it is so deep and vast. How cool is this? God's love is the only love that is certain, it is real and GOD IS LOVE! God gave us human love and loving actions to show His own love. Once we take that leap of faith and fall into the arms of God's love then by doing random acts of kindness and love, we are witnesses and believers of the one true love that is revealed through Jesus Christ.

Personally, I don't think love is only a doing word. It is a doing word, but it's different, it isn't like running or swimming, it is something you live and show. It is an emotion, a feeling, a presence, a comfort, and a guide. For, GOD IS LOVE!

Live Love
