Love is Sacrifice

 

A journey called life can never be sweeter than when we are surrounded by the people who love and care about us despite the odds might be it social status, wealth, religion and race. The desire to be loved and cared for is the greatest wealth which a person can have at their disposal but it comes at a price which is sacrifice, it is an absolute gift which makes us whole. The emptiness inside can only be fulfilled by the great gift of love which can move mountains no matter which season it might be it can still bare fruits which  manifest in our  hearts. Love does not lie, boast or have pride but it is a fountain of warmth, care, kindness and hope which are all fruits of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. Love in its three categories it is still the same and bares all the manifestations and above all it is always forgiving and forgetting be it AGAPE, FILIA or AREOS.

Agape is love from GOD which manifests to us, for God so loved the world that he gave his only be gotten son, this is a clear indicator to show us that love is always sacrifice. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. In the book of John it goes on further to say 1 John 4: 8 whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  This is a lesson to humans that no matter how much we sinned God is always forgiving and forgetting. Love is the only thing that can heal and change the hearts of mankind, love is never hurt because it is always there to reprimand and it is always shinning the light to its manifestations. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Fundamentally in this world we live affiliated to our families which give us the sole reason for our existence and being this is called Filia the love between families.  Above all the manifestations of this love are proved through the sacrifices we make for our families. When a woman shares her greatest gift with a man they is a manifestation and that is the root were it all begins. When a woman gives birth to a child the joy and passion which burns within her, throughout a woman’s life sacrifice and care for her family are the sole purpose she wakes up every morning to work hard. The bond which is created between a woman and her siblings is greater than anyone could ever imagine because she always wants the best of her family. Proverbs 31:15-17 she gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. I am not writing this as an expect of love but my intention is to spread it the same way it had been planted inside me am just a soul trying to manifest it to the world, no later than tomorrow because I want everyone to have a purpose which is to change the world through love. A man is much jealous when it comes to protecting his territory which is his family, he would sacrifice anything to see his family happy. A fathers love and sacrifice can be seen when he goes out to work just to put all the basic needs on the table for the family, no matter how stormy it might be he manages to pull through. A good father can humble himself to the extent that he can fail to were descent cloths on his body but he know that the desire within him is so much greater and worth  to do so because he wants to see his family happy. 1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. Noah stands out among fathers in the Bible as a man who clung to God in spite of the wickedness all around him. What could be more relevant today? Noah was far from perfect, but he was humble and protective of his family. He bravely carried out the task God assigned to him. Modern fathers may often feel they are in a thankless role, but God is always pleased by their devotion. Surely one of the most underrated fathers in the Bible was Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ. He went through great difficulties to protect his wife Mary and their baby, and then saw to Jesus' education and needs as he was growing up. Joseph taught Jesus the carpentry trade. The Bible calls Joseph a righteous man, and Jesus must have loved his guardian for his quiet strength, honesty, and kindness.

Moreover Aeros the love between two people is a complicated topic to dwell since people have different perspective to suite their own desires. But the fact still remains and it cannot be denied that love always manifest fruits in it according to the above definition. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love between to people can be a thing which many can learn to purify their hearts because it feel so beautiful and divine because two souls sacrifice everything to be one in spirit through a union which no man separate. Genesis 2:24 that is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. It is always a process of perfecting each other through a lifetime of ups and downs which both parties will stand with each other no matter what may come their way as they confess on the alter when they do take vows. Only through Christ can a couple can be sanctified and be perfected because all things which are in God’s hands are perfect. Colossians 3:14 and over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Love as universal it is the only factor that can change a man’s heart through its manifestations through sharing it with friends and neighbors to make this world a better place free from hate and evil. Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Proverbs 27:10 do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away. Leviticus 19:18 “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. Psalm 103:17-18 but from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him and his righteousness with their children’s children— 18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. I hope this might piece of work we can continue to share love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As I wrote this piece of work I felt empty but I had hope that through love I can be filled and find a purpose of sharing it to you my brothers and sisters but as I conclude this my anger has been dissolved into a greater purpose than me and for that I pray you too can walk on the same path.
