LOVE IS SELFLESS

Author: -

This is Love in Preference.   To one degree or another, almost everyone prefers him/herself before others. We live in a world that is occupied with a mindset of “self”. We have a culture that teaches us to focus on our appearance, feelings, personal interests and desires as the top priority.  One most important facet of love is unselfishness/selflessness. Love does not seek its own. Loving people are not selfish; they are selfless. The selfless nature of love makes it think about the interest of others.  Selfishness is the Problem If there is ever a word that simply means the opposite of love, then that is selfishness. I have come to realize that selfishness is the basis of all sins that we commit. Make mention of any kind of sin, and the root cause definitely can be traced to be selfishness.  Unfortunately, selfishness is embedded into every person from birth. Selfish persons think first, last and always of themselves. This attitude most clearly appears...

Look out for a good "marriage material" on your dates The desire to associate or mingle with the opposite sex is as natural as the sun rises in the morning.   Young men and women growing up always have the desire to socialize with people of the opposite sex.

Photo credit: www.shutterstock.com After my previous article where I made an exposition that the reality of love is the reason why a man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife, I kept thinking of what actually then keeps them together after the marriage. Couples exchange vows during the marriage ceremony – promises to take each other “in health and in sickness; for richer and for poorer; for better for worse . . .” – and they are expected to remember their vows always. But as the realities set in and they pass through the stages of marriage life, – children come in, work becomes more demanding, and sexual desire and physical appearances diminish – many “forget” their vows, and the result normally is divorce.  So if the vow exchanged by couples on their wedding day is not able to keep them together, then what will? It then struck me that after the couple leave, they are to cleave; and to cleave means to stick, be glued to or to keep tight. So what will ...
