LOVE IS DIMENSIONAL
David Abankwah
READ: 1 Samuel 18:1-4
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
-I Corinthians 13:4 | NKJV
I used to be an anti-woman type of guy in the instances of my adolescence. Woe betides a lady who tried to exchange pleasantries with me with the intention of having her way with me, how much more with the intention of having me as her boyfriend? But as time went on, I felt strange hormonal reactions which I couldn’t contain anymore. The ‘hate’ I had for ladies was turning into something I had no control over. Certain feelings began to exhibit within my reproductive system and as I advanced in life. Initially, I thought the feeling I had for ladies was a sign of love.
But I got to know that there are two additional illusions that make one thinks he or she is in love. Lust and infatuation are the two delusional avenues: lust or lasciviousness which is usually intense or unbridled sexual desire or feeling for sex and infatuation which is a feeling of foolish or obsessively strong love for, admiration for, or interest in someone or something: strong and unreasoning attachment that leads one to have a boyfriend or girlfriend the person doesn’t even need. Sometimes when you are young, you have all funny ideas about love.
Peer pressure can even lead one into sexual immoralities which often leads to all kinds of sexually transmitted infections or diseases, teenage pregnancies, abortion, birth controls, spiritual covenants, attachments or soul ties. Today sex has become so rampant that it is not even a shame to call a human being a ‘chick’, ‘sex-machine’, or ‘my tundra’, all in the name of courting. Today sex before marriage (fornication) and they worry Pastors for marriage prayers. But they don’t know that their sex-partners are the spouses they have chosen.
If I ever have the opportunity to test drive a car, I will never buy such a car. Many women are so cheap that they think when they offer sex it is a token of love. Such stupidity in the highest order needs to be curtailed. Wake up woman. Sex is not love. Love is dimensional. If you want to know if someone loves you, measure the person by the dimensions of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (longsuffering, patience, unselfishness, kindness, truthfulness, hope, endurance, unsuspicious, slow to anger, joy in righteousness, responsible, burden-bearing, not boastful, and faithfulness).

Lift up prayers for the grace to put all the dimensions of love into practice so you can flow in the fullness of God’s love in all your endeavours in the name of Jesus Christ.
