What is love?

Jarang juga ya gw ngeblog...tapi hari ini lagi pengen sharing deh.. tapi masih harus pake ingrris ya..

Well for the past few days, God has been teaching me on what love truly means. What does it mean to love someone? Maybe not romantically, or even in a friendship, but what does it mean to love someone unconditionally? I realised something when God showed me through an experience I had. Last week, my best friend fell sick and the thing is that before this we weren't that close becasue we sometimes have arguements. But the moment she became sick, for some reason something broke inside of me, and all of a sudden I didn't care one bit about who I am, where I was or what I was going through. All I felt was that I just had to be close to her to help her get well. My heart was pained just to see her sick, and throughout the whole time, I had no idea why but I didn't really care.

It was this time that God finally spoke into my heart. When you "truly" love someone, whether it be a girlfriend/boyfriend, parents, family, friends or your spouse, it suddenly has nothing to do with you. Its not about how tired you feel, or how much you're hurt, what others will think or anything like that, not even if they love you back or not. It becomes all about that person no matter what happens. So suddenly the question comes upon my heart, do I truly love God? Do I surrender all I have to Him? Am I selfish in the way that I think or act? Is it all about Him?

So now Jesus' love for us is slightly more revealed to me. He lived as if He lived for us. When He died on the cross, the last thought on His mind wasn't "Would they love me back?"

... it was simply "I love you"
