This Ain't Love

In different cultures throughout the world, love is more than a word, emotion, or felling. Love is an action word that exudes from one person to another. Not for personal gain or to say to others, "I've done this or that for somebody else." Love is a gift, something like a gift of life, to others; giving them the power to go on in an imperfect world. Love is a man who tries his hardest to do right by his wife and children. Love is a friend ensuring that she never double crosses her friend in spite of what other lames have said (especially when it comes to her friend's past and faults). Love is saying you will look out for the homeless when you are elected into a prominent office and actually stay true to your word when it happens. Love is actually loving someone else who looks different and even smells different than you when you say you serve the God that is love. But c'mon son (like Ed Lover), we're living in a day and age when the love is something love. Love is now seeing a chick in the club, spit a few words, and then "shoot up her club" for a full 3 minutes. Then 7 months later, she's calling you to tell that she's pregnant with your kid and that word you flew out there to get what you wanted at that particular moment means nothing. Love is now abandoning your friends because you believe in the words of some liar that is ruining your friend's reputation. Love isn't talking about your "loved one's" problems during "for your eyes only" conversations to the whole world and then smile in their face like nothing happened. Now other people are looking at that same person crazy because of your fake loving self. Hmmm.... This isn't love. Love definitely isn't using Jesus' name to manipulate someone to build up your image, financial status, and "power"and then "emasculates" anyone who shares a different opinion (usually is brought up when they understand the true meaning of the Bible for themselves). Love causes people to say I'm sorry if they have offended someone without trying to sweep the wrongdoing under the rug. It's actually taking the time to break the situation down with the person they've offended in humility and admit they are wrong (for a change). I hope you all hear what I'm saying. We have to know what true love is and is not; thereby pursue to walk in the true image and action of love. Many of us, if not all of us, are going to experience true love and fake love. On the job, in the church, in a mosque, in political offices, or in the music industry. So I encourage you, know the difference and teach what the true meaning of love in the sight of God is all about. Manipulative, sadistic, religious, greedy, controlling, and lying people that control as such don't know love. But you who strive to not become this way know what true love is.
