In Colossians 3, we are instructed to "clothe our selves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. "
Here, we are told again how to be a reflection God. We are to put on love more than all. When I think of love, I often think that people have the wrong idea of what love really is. Most people think that love is just something that happens, something to fall in or out of.
However, I think most people are wrong about this. Love to me is a decision, a choice. Consider the most ultimate demonstration of love. When Christ died for us, He chose to go to the cross. Remember, He asked the Father to "take the cup" from him. He wasn't real excited about what waited for Him. But, He did it anyway.
The next time you tell someone you love them, remember that love don't always "feel good". But it is always necessary, always.
