Love the Verb

When we speak of love it is always in the very emotional sense of the word. Love to many of us is about how someone makes us feel or how we feel about someone.

What if we took the emotion out of it and looked at it as a verb? A verb is an action not an emotion.

I have recently started to view love in this manner. True that there are feelings associated with the word but when paired with an action it is far more powerful.

We have always been taught that we should love our enemies as we love ourselves. This type of love can be readily achievable if we look at it from an action stand point. Loving our children, spouses and significant others would seem less stressful if we chose to love by our actions or agape love.

If we viewed love in the same sense in which God told us to love I think life could be easier for all parties involved. We would accept people as they are versus how we feel they should love us. In other words...maybe when people love us unlike we expect, they are actually only loving us the way they know how.

Think about all your love relationships and reflect on if the are based on how someone makes you feel versus how that person actually treats you.

Remember actions speak louder than words!

Much Love
