LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL

THE ONLY WAY LOVE CAN LAST A LIFETIME IS IF ITS UNCONDITIONAL . THE TRUTH IS THIS ; LOVE IS NOT DETERMINED BY THE ONE BEING LOVED . BUT RATHER BY THE ONE CHOOSING TO LOVE . THE BIBLE REFERS TO THIS KIND OF LOVE BY USING THE GREEK WORD " AGAPE "
IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER TYPES OF LOVE , WHICH ARE - PHILEO ( FRIENDSHIP ) AND EROS ( SEXUAL LOVE ) BOTH FRIENDSHIP & SEX HAVE AN IMPORTANT PLACE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP , OF COURSE , AND ARE DEFINITELY PART OF THE HOUSE YOU BUILD TOGATHER . BUT IF YOUR PARTNERSHIP DEPENDS ON HAVING COMMON INTEREST OR ENJOYING PASSIONATE SEX , THEN THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS UNSTABLE PHILEO AND EROS ARE MORE RESPONSIVE IN NATURE AND CAN FLUCTUATE BASED UPON FEELINGS , AGAPE LOVE , ON THE OTHER HAND , IS SELFLESS AND UNCONDITIONAL SO UNLESS THIS KIND OF LOVE FORMS THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP , THE WEAR & TEAR OF TIME WILL DESTROY IT . AGAPE LOVE IS " IN SICKNESS AND HEALTH " LOVE , " FOR RICHER OR POORER " LOVE , " FOR BETTER OR WORSE " LOVE . IT IS THE ONLY KIND LOVE THAT IS TRUE . THERE MUST BE A STRONGER FOUNDATION THE MERE FRIENDSHIP OR SEXUAL ATTRACTION . UNCONDITIONAL LOVE , AGAPE LOVE , WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY TIME OR CIRCUMSTANCE. THATS NOT TO SAY , THOUGH , THAT LOVE WHICH BEGAN FOR THE WRONG REASONS CAN BE RESTORED AND REDEEMED . IN FACT , WHEN REBUILDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH AGAPE AS ITS FOUNDATION, THEN THE FRIENDSHIP AND ROMANTIC ASPECTS OF YOUR LOVE BECOME MORE ENDEARING THAN BEFORE . WHEN YOUR ENJOYMENT OF EACH OTHER AS BEST FRIENDS & LOVERS IS BASED ON AN UNWAVING COMMIMENT , YOU WILL EXPERIENCE AN INTIMACY THAT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED ANY OTHER WAY . BUT YOU WILL STRUGGLE AND FAIL TO ATTAIN THIS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP UNLESS YOU ALLOW GOD TO BEGIN GROWING HIS LOVE WITHIN YOU ."'LOVE THAT BEARS ALL THINGS , BELIEVES ALL THINGS , HOPES ALL THINGS , ENDURES ALL THINGS " ( 1 CORINTHIANS 13:7) THE SPRIPTURE SAY THAT ,NEITHER DEATH , NOR ANGELS , NOR PRINCIPALITIES , NOR THINGS PRSENT , NOR THINGS TO COME , NOR POWERS, NOR HEIGHT , NOR DEPT , NOR ANY OTHER CREATED THING WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US THE LOVE OF GOD , WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD .THIS IS GODS KIND OF LOVE . AND THANKFULLY -- IF WE CHOOSE -- IT CAN BE OUR KIND OF LOVE ....IAM THERE ...BUT FIRST YOU MUST RECIEVE IT AND SHARE IT .
