WORDS MATTER : MY REQUEST

THE LOVE DARE STARTS WITH A SECRET . AND THOUGH ITS BEEN AN UNSPOKEN ELEMENT THROUGHOUT EACH DAY , YOU'VE LIKELY GROWN MORE AND MORE SUSPICIOUS OF IT ALL THE TIME . NOW THAT YOU'RE THIS FAR , IT'S A SECRET YOU'RE DISCOVERING FOR YOURSELF , EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T EXACTLY KNOWN HOW TO PUT IT INTO WORDS .

THE SECRET IS THIS : YOU CANNOT MANUFACTURE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (AGAPE LOVE ) OUT OF YOUR OWN HEART . IT'S IMPOSSIBLE . IT'S BEYOND YOUR CAPABILITIES . IT'S BEYOND ALL OUR CAPABILITIES . YOU MAY HAVE DEMONSTRATED KINDNESS & UNSELFISHNESS IN SOME FORMS , AND YOU MAY HAVE LEARNED TO BE MORE THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE. BUT SINCERELY LOVING SOMEONE UNSELFISHLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY IS ANOTHER MATTER ALTO GATHER . SO HOW CAN YOU DO IT ? LIKE IT OR NOT , AGAPE LOVE ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN DO . IT 'S SOMETHING ONLY GOD CAN DO . BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR YOU -- AND HIS LOVE FOR YOUR MATE ---HE CHOOSES TO EXPRESS HIS LOVE THROUGH YOU . STILL YOU MAY BE HOLDING ON TO THE IDEA THAT WITH ENOUGH HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT , YOU CAN MUSTER UP THIS UNCONDITIONAL , LONG - TERM , SACRIFICIAL LOVE FROM YOUR OWN HEART AND BEING . YOU WANT TO BELIEVE IT'S IN YOU . YET , HOW MANY TIMES HAS YOUR LOVE FAILED TO KEEP YOU FROM LYING , FROM WANTING HIM TO CHANGE , FROM OVER REACTING , FROM CURSING THE GROUND THE PERSON YOU VOWED BEFORE GOD TO LOVE AND NOT ABANDON FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE ? YOU CAN 'T GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE . YOU CAN'T CALL UP INNER RESERVES AND RESOURCES THAT AREN'T THERE TO SUMMON , YOU CAN NOT PAY OUT LOVE THAT IS GREATER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE . YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE YOU THIS GREAT LOVE . SO , WE TURN TO OUR HIGHER POWER WHO IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LOVE THAT IS REAL ,THE GIVING THE RECEIVING ...SIMPLE PUT THERE'S ONLY ONE SOURCE TO CAL ON , YOU CAN NOT DO IT WITHOUT HIS LOVE WITHIN YOU ....SO, GO ON ASK ....ASK FOR YOUR LOVED ONE , ASK FOR YOUR FAMILY , FRIENDS AND THE WORLD
