In our
previous update on love, we discussed what love is and how we should act in
love. Now, we will be talking on the characteristics of love;
LOVE IS
SACRIFICE:
This can be
sited biblically and also in human instances. Biblically, love been a sacrifice
was practicalized when God the creator of the whole universe sent down his only
begotten son to die for the sins of mankind. This type of love can never be
found in the human race. God therefore used the death of his son to show us
what love means as a sacrifice. This is the utmost sacrifice that has ever
taken place on earth since the beginning of mankind.
In the human
instance; love as a sacrifice can be seen in families where the parents deny
themselves of rest and good life in-order to make sure that their children live
good. They go as far as selling up their private properties to keep their
children comfortable academically and otherwise.
Love can
also be seen as sacrifice among lovers; here, one of the partners or both
sacrifice for each other to make themselves happy and see to the lasting of
their relationship.
Note; love
as a sacrifice should not only be seen among families and lovers, it should be seen
everywhere. Our society needs to learn to love everyone as the love god and if
u say you love someone, you must sacrifice for the person. We should also learn
to love strangers because whatsoever you do to the least of your brothers, that
you do unto God and he will not fail to reward to in abundance.
Dear readers,
do u really want to be loved? Do u really love your God? If your answer to the
above questions is Yes, then you must love your neighbor and be ready to
sacrifice for him.
Follow us up on the next interesting
update on love. DVOICE!
