WHEN I WAS IN LOVE.
This series as directed by the Holy Spirit is to make us understand/see the depth of love.
You can't complete this race without the grace of God, without the power of His might, without the Holy Ghost and without Love.
This is a question i would love to ask:
Are you in Love?
Back to the question, ARE YOU IN LOVE? HAVE YOU EVER FELL IN LOVE?
Love depends on the definition you give/term it.
English dictionary defines ‘love as an intense of AFFECTION and CARE towards another.
‘A DEEP abiding LIKING for something’.
‘A sexual desire; sexual activity’, etc.
Let us consider physical thinking/psychologically, what initiate love in one's mind. What brings about FEELINGS, LIKING, DESIRE, etc?
To every human there is a part of us God constructed to feel, like and to desire. That emotion, hormone that very part of us that react to things, object or whatsoever it might be.
You know there are times when we meet some people for the 1st time, seeing them alone; their appearance, the way they speak, act, mode of dressing. That we just ADMIRE so much, same thing is applicable to objects such as; phones, bags any form of material but i tell you that isn't love but ADMIRATION; it ignites you to admire but it is when you are so much convinced then Love follows.
To expatiate on this, i tell you if that quality/quantity you see in such person/object changes/looses value you tend to create this immediate hatred for such thing.
For example, you seeing a girl from distance she seems to be like an angel because of the makeover on her face u approach her had a little conversation and you exchange number, you went on a visit to her hostel on getting there u met a young lady, you greeted and ask after the girl u exchanged number with and you were told the sister you asked after was the one you met at the gate consciously/unconscious u didn't notice because u saw another being entirely different from the makeover face, what you saw was a girl with tribal mark, you tend to lose interest in her because of that change in appearance, that isn't love but ADMIRATION.
There is a part of admire definition which state:
To LOOK upon w12/3/2018 ith ELEVATED FEELING OF PLEASURE, as something which calls out approbation, esteem, LOVE or reference.
For example, you met with a guy who appears to be a rich guy at a party, and then you felt like wow! He spent like! He asked for your number u gave him without resistance, he asked you out you agree but after a week u realize that he is just a pap seller's child, then you wonder where he got those money from, then you realize he is a scam! You tend to lose interest in such a person, that isn't love but ADMIRATION.
I.e. it is about the value you see, the pleasure you take, the satisfaction you have at that moment that calls out your love for such thing or person not the real Love.
Many a time you might cultivate your admiration to Love but not always in all cases, Love comes from within is a CONTROLLABLE AFFECTION; it’s something that moves you to react towards something controllably.
That is just a preamble.
