I'm not trying to be one of those love sick young adults. All I'm asking for is what you think love is. In the Bible it says that God is love and that only God can love us more than anyone else can. So what is love? Is it an emotion? A feeling that one has when they spend time with someone else? Or could it be something that every human being longs for, something that mankind can't fight? All these questions run through my mind sometimes. Have you ever just stopped and thought about it?

When God created life, He wanted to be with all of them, but unfortunately he could not be p ersonally with all his children, so He started residing in mothers. There you will find sublime love, totally unselfish and pure. You must have experienced this love for yourself. Love of other people come, and we have to see that it keeps going on and on, with a lot of understanding on our part. One has to be a very giving person, and expect very little in return. The love is then forever. Love is an emotion which everybody experiences in thier life in some form or the other. Love my friend is not just giving and taking, it is all about understanding.

Love such a powerful four letter word. What I'm saying is that God has a greater love for us than anyone else. Yes mother's love their children. Now to say that every mother loves their child with unselfish pure love: I just don't see where you get that. everyday children are killed in abortion clinics, left on doorsteps, and put up for adoption. So from this I see that nobody, man or woman can love us as much as God.

Do you meet some love difficulties that you can't deal with or put yourself in a dilemma?
No offend to you,i don't buy you theory that only God can love us more than anyone else can.God is unavailable to love and care about us as on one can take the place of family members to love ourselves.
I think you should learn to love yourself first if you want to love as well as to beloved later.
Love is a great thing where you can have a lot of fun,and don't be afraid of getting hurt once you start love,and just remember:Love will come when you least expect it!

I do not have any difficulties with love. What I am saying is that because God created us he has a love for us that nobody else can have for us. I have learned to love myself and everyday I am growing stronger and stronger with that love. And also I am not afraid to be hurt. I've been hurt enough times to be able to handle it. I understand where you're coming from with how much a family loves us. But think about this: a family can disown you. But God will never leave or forsake you. So God's love is truly greater than any love a man can have.
