LOVE | Deep Thoughts Series

Good Day Steemians !

Now, in this blog we'll about talk about love. So what is " love " ? Love is a strong affection towards something or can be someone. Love encompasses a variety of different emotional and mental states, typically strongly and positively experienced, ranging from the deepest interpersonal affection to the simplest pleasure.

Love in Family

There is no simple or basic definition of a families love. In a family theres a genetic bond thats why we call it "family" but have you ever had that thought of a mothers love ? Starting from you being on her mattress as an embryo she is already been taking care of you, examples would be proper food eating, avoidance of foods that would hurt a baby and picky on medicines. There lots of things to consider when a woman gets pregnant specially those who wants to have a baby. Then the day would come where she would give birth to you "ooh the pain" ever thought of that ? She had been through many things just to have you a mothers love where even though shes mad at you but still cares for you. She cant fall asleep if you're not home, she cant bare to stand you getting bullied at school and shes that person that supports you more than anyone would. Also lets not forget the "Fathers Love" where he is always there supporting the families needs, the pillar of the family. The one who would fix the the house, who does the heavy works. Theres so much love within a family a brothers love who would protect her baby girl sister. A sisters love towards her parents, where usually in our country the girls are most likely the treasure of the family. Relatives are also considered as family and they also provide what you need in times you need them. Every time there would be a family problem there those relatives who would come by to your house and talks on your parents and stuffs ( only if they know about commotions ).

Before you proceed on reading maybe some part above you would disagree on me. Let me just say that this is just my own perspective and is just an opinion.

Love towards Someone

The most common and easy to understand where almost of us could relate about loving on someone. That moment where you had a crush on someone and she/he likes you also, can also be called " imagination " hahaha Im just kidding . Now, love towards someone is growing an affection towards him/her, a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives, and is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Friendship ? Friendzone ? Ill give you a tip hoping this would help you out getting away on friendzone " -at first show your affection towards him/her, give her/him your attention, give time, show how special he/she is and then when he/she shows affection towards you also but is scared to commit which is why she/he would just say lets just be " friends " that time that very moment slowly change start giving less attention, time, effort all of that and there would be a time he/she would ask you " Why change ? What happen ? " something like this then just confess your feelings. Confess everything how you feel towards him/her just tell the truth the whole truth, see the results if he/she would change his/her mind. Back to the topic, Love towards your insignificant other. The person whom you can bring home and introduce to your parents ( not easy in our country ),the person whom you can share everything with, whom youre happy to be with, and the person who can always be at your side no matter what happens. Love towards a person who is not genetically bonded to you, loving him/her without any demands, no matter what his/her state is either be on the low class, mid section or high class. Where nothing of those matters of you cause you love that person. Theres no measuring device that can measure " true love ". Find a person, if he/she is making you feel special then hold on to that.

Love towards Things

Not much I can explain but simply we love the things that has value to us. It can either be a phone, a flower, stuff toys, handkerchief, pillow, a picture of your family ( this is usually the most valuable thing specially to those people who are apart of their family ) or anything that has value to you. That is love towards a thing for me.

God is Love

The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1 John 4:8). But how can we even begin to understand that truth? There are many passages in the Bible that give us God's definition of love. The most well known verse is John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." So one way God defines love is in the act of giving. However, what God gave (or should we say, "who" God gave) was not a mere gift-wrapped present; God sacrificed His only Son so that we, who put our faith in His Son, will not spend eternity separated from Him. This is an amazing love, because we are the ones who choose to reject God, yet it's God who mends the separation through His intense personal sacrifice, and all we have to do is accept His gift.

Another great verse about God's love is found in Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." In this verse and in John 3:16, we find no conditions placed on God's love for us. God doesn't say, "as soon as you clean up your act, I'll love you; " nor does He say, "I'll sacrifice my Son if you promise to love Me." In fact, in Romans 5:8, we find just the opposite. God wants us to know that His love is unconditional, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us while we were still unlovable sinners. We didn't have to get clean, and we didn't have to make any promises to God before we could experience His love. His love for us has always existed, and because of that, He did all the giving and sacrificing long before we were even aware that we needed His love.

God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.
