Is Love Enough?
As Christians, we are suppose to love one another as Christ loves us. When asking God why He does so much for us (is so good to us), the answer is simple: simply because He loves us. And that love is enough. So, when it comes to relationships with one another (romantic and platonic), why do we exercise and truly believe that "love is not enough"? Do we have this all wrong?

Love is definitely enough. I think people are looking for love in all the wrong places. God is an awesome God, and He loves us to no end. People look for constant gratification from other people not realizing what God is working out in their lives. I love this post! Keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteLove is definitely enough. However, I recall when my family and I were engaged in a "heated discussion" at my aunt's house where someone made a very interesting point which has stuck with me ever since: the ways people express their love for one another may often vary widely from how people expect love to be shown towards them. For example, a husband may believe him being a provider for his wife and family (paying bills, buying groceries, etc.) is how he shows that he loves them whereas his wife believes she is loved when she hears "I love you" and gets physical affection. It's not that they don't love each other deeply but people often expecting for love to be expressed in certain ways, the way they perceive has an act/expression of love, that is often different than the way it's given. So as a family (going back to my initial point), I realized I needed a start making a conscious effort of recognizig what makes my parents and my brothers understand that I love them and being clear with them about what I need to feel loved. When we're all on the same page, there's more love to go around than a lil bit! ;-)
