It is a period or of love to be more specific, a day when love is celebrated and so today, I will be giving an eye opener on what love entails. So many are lost in the abyss of the term love that the true meaning of love has been forgotten in a world of bitter survival.
Love has been peverted and contoured through the mosaic of feeling and misunderstood as an emotion rather than an attitude. Love is a roller coastal of unidentified problems and there are several concept and types of love

Types of Love
a) Eros
b) Phileo
c) Agape
Eros love- implies strong pleasure, it is the direct opposite of God’s kind of love that is supposed to be practiced and sadly, this is the kind of love people venture into
Phileo love
True or real friendship or kindness based on a relationship of fondness in other words brotherly love. In my opinion, this is kind of love is exhibited clearly in this community(steemchurch) of growth. So many supportive brothers of the church have been ignited in their actions, support and guidance of growing. To be exemplified 
This type of live is encourage and hungered for greatly in our economy and country Nigeria. In staining everyone to good deeds.

Agape Love
This is God’s kind of love, eternal life
The holy spirit dominating our flesh in total accordance and submission to the celestial
Love is a variety of different reactions and mental state. Love has been shifted in typically being strong and deep when feelings/emotions are reciprocated. Nobody is willingly to give virtue of affection or care without an assurance of pleasure or benefit. Even a mother who brings a seed into the world do not want an offspring who she wouldn’t benefit from, nobody want to be intertwined with liabilities, everyone wants an asset.
Please do not get me wrong. Change is the only constant thing, nobody wants a static individual but a growing one which is appropriate. But the wrong strings have been attached to the term reciprocation.

‘’I love you because you are now doing something for me’’ says modern love. The sad truth is that such love is temporary with a level of small permanence and only temporary commitment. Looking out for each other needs that a person’s attitude and giving is a vehicle leading us home.
True love is intenisity of giving not receiving and this height of intensity was seen by our messiah Jesus Christ who was burised, mirged, battered, shattered, emacipated for the sake of our sins that we should be redeemed all for his great love.

John 3:16 for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosever believe in him should no perish but have everlasting life. God in return has commanded us that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul and with might Deu 5:5 for true love is intensified

The love of God is willed. It is not forced
The love of God is complete
It is an act of the heart, mind soul and will
Love was and is still the main key in the ministry of Jesus
Giving without receiving
Planting several parts of you into someone else without getting back.
Characteristics of Love
If Christians are stained with the specified attributes of God’s love then the meaning of love is emulated. This is the motivation Christians have to be powered by.
Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit in highlighting our activities and actions with the true revelation of this motivational force. The bridge between spiritual and physical is cut down with all our endeavor manifested.

The forces of God’s true love should be radiated and illuminated in the lives of all individuals we come across and should be the motivational force in affecting the gravity of sin. Love is beyond the flesh or productions of our actions, it is giving without expectations
Let love lead
Let the true meaning of love be radiated today in our actions
Shalom church
God bless you
