Love is sacrifice
Love hurts and can break us down into pieces but yet love is the greatest of all. God has made it clear in the scripture that we should love one another and be our brothers keeper. Love is an adventure that has no end and when we love, we help each other to grow and live peacefully, there's a huge reward for love and that's peace from within.
Love is not an easy road because it takes two or more persons with Patience and virtue to work together in it and when something involves two different individuals walking together, we tend to have different opinions and so many dislikes and want from one another and when we understand the principles of love we definitely can ride the boat to whatever destination we wish to. The bible says and I quote "Can two walk together, except they agree" this is the basic principles of love for me.
Agreeing to walk with each other despite the imperfections and mistakes fuels and sustain love, you can't love and don't get hurt, the earlier we understand this concept the more we won't be having broken relationship. Love is sacrifice because you must be willing to showcase the gravity of your love to whoever you claim to love. Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me.
"God so loved the world and He gave His only begotten son Jesus Christ that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish"
John 3:16
This is the biggest evidence and prove of love even from our creator, that was a huge sacrifice for humanity. He loved the world and decided to sacrifice His only son to die for us on the cross of Calvary for our redemption, this is sacrifice. If we humans are ready to love then we must be ready to sacrifice or else we can't sustain a lasting relationship with one another both marriage wise and friendship wise, tolerance is one of those sacrifice, giving is one of those sacrifice, it's not enough to profess love without putting it to action.
I love to love and I understand that love hurts and we can eventually be betrayed just like Jesus was too but He didn't stop loving humanity. One of the reasons we are having a world today with so many people that don't want to love again is because of heartbreaks, heartbreaks are everywhere now and so many people are on the verge of revenge thereby increasing the number of heartbreaks in the world. We need to learn from the scriptures and learn to love no matter how many times we are broken.
My kind advice is that we should love everyone but put our trust in God, we can trust each other too but we should always remember that humans can fail us but God will never. We should love but activate our right senses and be very vigilant. When we love, we are supposed to be loved back in return. It hurts to love someone and never get loved in return. It is two different thing to sacrifice for the person that loves you just like you loved them and sacrificing for someone that doesn't love you at all, that's how to get broken into many pieces. We should channel our love to the right persons.
Thank you
