We are all born with Love. We are all full of Love. Yes, we are born in a world filled with hate and sin, and we are born into sin (thanks adam and eve!), but we are born full of Love. We were made in God's likeness, and God is the very definition of Love. Our problem is finding where to put our Love. Where is it supposed to go?
Family...friends...stuff...hobbies...jobs...pets...boyfriend/girlfriend...?
We take chance on where to place our buckets full of Love and often have them just knocked over by people. We expect to receive Love when we give Love and we should. But we get frustrated and angry when we misplace our Love in the wrong spots and don't get Loved back. We tend to give up on the Love we have to give. Our Love grows cold and dark and starts to decay. Our Love must be put in the proper places for it to grow. There are 3 ways our Love must be lived out.
1. Worship. We were created to worship. We spend our lives searching for that someone or something to give our Love in worship to. When we worship anything other than our Creator, our Love decays. Misplaced Love in worship turns to hate.
2. Relationships. We were created for relationships with people and our Maker. Our Love must be poured out in the right Godly relationships. We waste our Love on relationships that drive us away from God.
3. Cause. We were created for a cause. We must have a cause to spend our Love on. Whether it's making the world cleaner, defeating starvation and poverty, fathering a fatherless generation, or stopping abortion, we must have a cause.
People hurt us, disappoint us, and abandon us. This world is messed up and probably won't get any better. Teenagers are killing each other, men are cheating on their wives, and hate is running rampant across the nation. But I can't help but thinking that if this world could just put their Love where it is supposed to go it wouldn't turn into hate. I think it would help.
