Love Is A Choice

"And above all these put on love,

which binds everything together in perfect harmony."

Colossians 3:14 (ESV)

Two words in the above verse stand out: "put on." These words indicate that love is an action, not a feeling. In other words, love is a choice, and for harmony to exist between two people, a decision must be made by each of the two to put the other person first. This kind of love is what binds everything together in perfect harmony.

In today's world, if each on us learned the art of unselfishness, there would be a lot less divorces, failed relationships, split churches, and discorded families, all of which lead to heartbreaks, life-long hurts, and depression.

Truly loving one another brings the greatest amount of pleasure and happiness to all people. Love is an unselfish act that intensely satisfies both ourselves and the other people we love. Love is of God and a wonderful gift we can give and receive back.
