LOVE IS DIVERSE

SERIES: Day 8
…..is not easily provoked…..
-1 Corinthians 13:5 | KJV
Love is so many things put together. These days many people get the word love twisted. They think when they give their bodies to their partners for sex, it means they want to prove their love to them. What nonsense is this! Love is not sex and sex is not love. If you want to know who really love you, this series is teaching it all. We have been able to go through few of the things that comes together to form love. Today too, we will continue. If someone has been worrying you saying he or she loves you and you don’t see these attributes, then the person is listing after something you have.
We have love, lust and infatuation. Someone can say that, ‘Oh when I knew this woman before I married her, she was not like this oh, but when I married her, she has completely changed into a demon.’ You thought she loved you, but she was lusting after your money, houses, cars and things you had. That is lust. Someone too can say, ‘I had always had the urge to sleep with this guy because looking at his tick tallness, I knew from the start as we went into relationship that, he would be good in bed and that is why I accepted his proposal.’ That is infatuation.
If you go into relationship based on feelings, you will regret it for the rest of your life. You have to see some signs of love that I am teaching on and pah very good attention to them. One of the signs of love is that, the person ceases to unleash his or her anger on you. Many at times, anger comes out of frustration and continual provocation. But if you have love, you will be able to curb your temper and slow things down. A mad person is someone who responds to the nonsense of what someone is doing. It is not everything you have to respond to.
We always see on the roadside that, speed kills, but anger kills more than that. Cain would not have killed Abel if he had no anger for this brother. He was not having this attribute of love which is slowness to temper. I am giving you an assignment. If you want to know if the person who claims he or she loves you has this trait of love, deliberately provoke him or her and see what comes out of him. The feedback will tell you if he or she has love or not. If you fail in even one trait of love, it means you don’t know and you don’t have love at all. Love depends on so many things. Love is diverse!
