Its genesis is scripture and the crazy pursuit of God toward us foolish humans. It got me thinking about love. Not the visceral reaction to lust. I was thinking about how God ingrained in us the desire to love and be loved. Have you ever been deeply in love, real love, crazy love? The love that stops your heart and makes you say and do stupid things. A love that makes you want to do anything to please the one you love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Again, it is not trivial acts like gifts, romantic dinners, and vacations. I\u2019m talking about real love\u2014the type that makes you wash the dishes, take out the trash, and hold the door open. You know you are in love when doing the mundane is your love language. Have you experienced the type of love whose genesis is a deep understanding of the emotional needs of the one you love? It is not about winning their affection but showing yours. It is selfless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A wise lover regards not so much the gift of him who loves as the love of him who gives.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_%C3%A0_Kempis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thomas Kempis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Song of Solomon 8:6-7, \u201cPlace me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WILD LOVE AS A FORCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Love is a force that transcends time, culture, and belief systems. It has the power to heal, inspire, and transform lives. What is it like to love someone so much that you will subject yourself to enormous emotional pain? Physical pain is understandable; there is a source and maybe a remedy. Emotional pain is irrational, without a focus, and its only remedy is time. We all have experienced the dark side of love. We all have a first crazy love or an unrequited love that gave us that moment that stood still, life stopped, and we couldn\u2019t breathe. As painful as it was, we crave it again. We want to feel desperate love. But at the same time, we fear its control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>1 John 4:8, \u201cWhoever does not love does not know God because God is love.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I have been with friends who have lost the love of their lives; the pain was suffocating. Many suffer from long-lasting depression. But, the degree of pain is directly proportional to the level of love. If they had not loved deeply, there would be no pain. The pain they feel is a blessing created by the love they have had the joy to experience. No love, no pain. Great love, great pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">\u201cGrief, I\u2019ve learned, is really just love. It\u2019s all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.\u201d \u2015 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/9657488-grief-i-ve-learned-is-really-just-love-it-s-all-the\">Jamie Anderson<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PASSIONATE LOVE AS AN EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I remember the great loves of my life; most were flawed, nothing more than a chemical reaction. If I allow myself, I can still feel the pain of their departure. Secretly, I crave that feeling again, not the pain but the love. I will accept the pain to experience the love. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>John 3:16, \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">That is how God loves you. God will take out the trash and hold the door open for you. He has given his life that you might live. God isn\u2019t a lover who showers you with trifling gifts to make you happy. He is tied into the very heart of your emotional needs. The pain He feels at your transgression must be immense. Imagine Him taking all that pain for every person that ever lived. Great love, great pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>1 Peter 4:8, \u201cAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I don\u2019t think we take the time to think about how much He loves us. We intellectually understand that He loved us to the point of death, but we haven\u2019t tied it to our experience. We somehow think the love God has embedded in us differs from His. God made us in His image; why would it be different? Why would God\u2019s pain in our absence be less than our human experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PURE LOVE AS A SALVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Colossians 3:14, \u201cAbove all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Next time God is an inconvenience or maybe too much work, think of the pain you are causing Him. Not because you have transgressed, He can deal with that, but because He lost your love. God yearns for our love just as we yearn to love and be loved. But He does it for eight billion people and still counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tomme-stevenson.com\/website\/who-am-i-that-i-should-love-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Further Reading<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>2 Corinthians 5:13-14, \u201c If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Either way, Christ\u2019s love controls us. Since we believe Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.\u201d<\/strong><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crazy Love is the name of my favorite coffee shop.
