pondering on love ...
you can never love too much - you can only love in a wrong way
LOVE is a big topic in my life.
Almost every day I ponder on love.
I love love :)
And I want to grow in love everyday though that seems to be quiet a challenge! There are so many people and even myself who keep me from growing in love ;)
I believe that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of LOVE itself. It's also written in the Bible: GOD is LOVE. (1 John 4:16)
So in my everyday life I often wonder why (we) humans are having a hard time sharing lives with each other and loving each other. Instead, we compete with each other, trying to be the best/better than the other or at least pretending to be better...
Of course we live in a "fallen" world. There are harmful relationships and so I can not just say "you can never love too much". I felt I have to add the second part: "you can only love in a wrong way". The Bible also says that we should love our enemies! Wow, that is really hard! But I believe that loving our "enemy" as in husband/partner/friend/colleague who abuses you doesn't mean to allow them treating you badly. If possible I want to love my "enemies", but will show them my borders and not allow them hurting me all over again. You probably all know abusive relationships where one person is e.g. holding power over the other. I strictly say: Leave or do whatever to get out of this abuse! But I think it's always better to love than to hate, because hate destroys yourself, you lose your inner joy. It's really a tough topic, guys! Don't think I am taking this easy and I am far from "the perfect lover" but I am striving... striving to grow in LOVE <3 And I want to encourage others to love and would be glad if we would all encourage each other to love and try to understand each other instead of hating on each other and talking badly about each other.
