 Care Completely There are those that take on the responsibility to care for and love another human being, but they are not prepared to love them completely. They fall in love at first sight with another person and they become obsessed over them for a while. When the honeymoon phase of their relationship fades, they don't love completely. They love only for a little bit. That little bit is enough to grow into unconditional love, but it is not mature. Love takes repetitive kindness and nurturing. It is very necessary that when you love someone you do not accuse or count the times when you helped them. You should not keep track of the amount of wrongs done to you because that is not real love. Love is sacrifice at the expense of your own well-being. The question remains what are you willing to sacrifice for? Some people sacrifice for animals and some sacrifice for the environment. Some people sacrifice for sports and others for government. Some sacrifice for children and some sacrifice for cars. It is important to know who you are going to remain loyal to. The human race is the most precious gift and to be one and the same with us is by Gods grace. From time began God calls us to love one another. Since God created us in His own image our first calling is to love and serve God. Our second calling is to love and serve people. Our third calling is to love and serve animals, the species that cannot fend for themselves with humans around. Humans have dominion over the animals. Our fourth calling is to love and care for plant species in the environment. We must never love these things more than we love our God. God does not want us to love the world, but to treat it with respect because it is a gift. People are one of the greatest gifts and things should be treated for what they are, replaceable. Peoples souls are not replaceable. You may be wondering what makes us qualified to love and care completely for another. I wish that I could tell you that it was simple and that you should just do it. But since actions are a part of love then it is not so simple. First comes the feeling of love and compassion and caring, but the feeling is not enough for the other party to feel loved or cared for. You must demonstrate your love. Some people think that sex is a demonstration of love, but it is not. Anyone can have sex with any person. Sex is self satisfaction and gratification. It is self pleasure. It is what makes people feel good, but it is only temporary. Love is putting the needs of others before your own needs. Jesus was the perfect example of love when He died on the cross for our sins. We did not deserve His love because we rejected Him and constantly committed sin. We constantly did things that were opposite of love. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 You say that you have no demonstration of love because your mother or your father did not love you. You may feel like your children or parents are against you and you do not have a best friend. But if you seek God and you see Jesus for who He is then you will know real love. You just need to open your heart and your mind and have faith that God will save you and will love you and take care of you. When you are ready, care completely. Love completely. All the selfish self-gratification should be put aside for the needs of another. Be careful who you choose to love and not quick or you may be at risk to stumble. Make a conscious decision to love and cast out your hurt. At the same time when someone shows that they need love and kindness and you are a witness to this, give it to them. You don’t have to hang out with people you don’t want to be around, but definitely make a conscious effort to show them mercy without the expectation of reward.
