It is Not a Meal without Love

What is love? Love for you and for me is different. People have distinct definition of love because it is based on their experiences. Some would say “love is blind” or “love is unpredictable”. Our views vary from one another. We have different languages of love. Love is a very big word. Love can be applied to our family, our friends, our special someone, and our beloved God. 

 Love is real, but only few people know what it really is. They say it is easier to detect than to define. Yes, it’s true! Some people saw love yet they can’t define it to others. We feel the emotion and the feeling, but when you relate it to others they won’t feel it. They won’t know love unless they have it. Love is often defined how it looks and how it feels. But, it’s not only that. Love is defined based on our experiences and our views. When you are in pain because of love, you’ll say love hurts. Love can bring happiness and sorrow to people.

 According to Shakespeare, “love is a capricious thing that changes like weather”. What does this mean? Love changes unexpectedly like the weather; one moment it’s sunny and bright, the other it’s stormy. It is the person’s commitment which will hold love until the end. Love seeks the highest good of other person. When you love you are willing to accept the flaws of that person and concentrate on bringing out his best. We have the choice to love. God gave as that. If we are willing to make the love last, whether there’d a storm or not, love will last. 


 Love has the hands to help others. It has the eyes to see the pain and the sorrows. Anything minus love is zero. Christian fellowship should also include love, especially our love to God. If koinonia means fellowship, agape means love. Love and fellowship go together. With love, we help one another to see God’s love, to know the Bible, and to be happy. The main point of the Bible is love. It’s truly correct that love is everything, because without love, there’d be nothing. Without love, we wouldn’t be satisfied. It is like having snacks, and we are left hungry. A meal satisfies our stomach just as much as love satisfies our hearts and soul!

 I’ve learned so much from this fellowship. It’s about love and fellowship. I learned that love is needed everywhere and everytime. When there’s fellowship, I will make it sure to show my love to God. He gave me the choice to love, and I will show my choice to the people around me. I want to help my family and friends with my love. In showing my love, I’d be careful. I will not do inappropriate things just like other people. I will secure my love for me, for my family and my friends and for God.
