Love - the simplest but also the most rejected definition

So what is love? It is so different from what most of us think!

There are different definitions for love and I will not go into discussing all of them. I will just take the most predominant one. Love is feeling. It has to do with our senses and emotions. It’s something that feels good, so good! What is happening when those feelings disappear? The answer which is given: love disappeared. I need to look for it again. Instability, chance, fate, karma… So many of us have experienced those strong feelings which we called love and, after some time, they have grown dim and after more time, they may even have disappeared. Love, it is believed, is something that comes and goes, something that is beyond our control. What we can do is to enjoy it as long as we have it because sooner or later will vanish away. Is this love? No wonder so many are afraid to look for it although they cannot stop looking and hoping that one day, maybe… Maybe … what?

The answer is so, so simple. According to the Bible, “God is love”; if God is love then whatever God is then that is what love is! Does it sound like running in circle? It could if you believe that we cannot know God. But the great news is that we can know God. And if we can know God then we can know what love is. Knowing God is the only way of knowing about love. This is the beauty of Christianity and the Bible: they help us to see how wonderful God/love is. How can we enjoy it, how can we help others do it …

So the next step is: where can I look for God? Is there any place where I can find God? Is there any way of getting in contact with Him? Is there any way of becoming familiar with Him?
