What Is This Thing??!!

What is the one thing that has everyone mystified? This thing that has started as many wars as it has ended? This little but big thing that has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? This thing that gets a hold of you deep down within and seems to never to let you go or set you free? This thing that makes you act a fool when you otherwise would be refined and reserved, it makes you say things you never knew existed within your heart or mind, it makes you give even when you are selfish, it captures you as its prisoner and appears to never sets you free.

What, what, what is this all about that wars in my mind, heart, soul, and spirit, and just will not leave me alone? It is so powerful that it makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies, and has caused so many losses, break-ups, break-down, and YES!...beat-downs all in its name, because many who say they are under its control, confuse their need to be in control of it, but the lust of its behavior puts you in a strong hold under its influence and power.

It comes in like a flood in so many different levels of expressions. And there is so much to with, and because of it, that it will be hard to put into simple words. It can tear people apart and make us do irrational things, as well as to the bringing together entire nations, couples, and families. It can cause you all kind of heartache and pain and suffering and much unrest when its not satisfied. SO, What is it that this thing cannot do?... There is nothing it cannot do... It can get you out of troubles, and bring you your hearts desire and without it nothing is possible. But there is a lot of truth to what it can do. This thing can bring tears to the eyes of a grown man when something happens to his hearts desire, a spouse, or a broken dating relationship or marriage. It has caused many of women to act as silly women out of control when it has brought disappointments, pain and hurts. It has many times been ripped from our hearts as a loss as in death or being spurned by another; it has caused many of men to go on violent rampages, forsake and leave their first family home base in search of another, looking at the grass on the other side of the fence, he not realizing that even so, the grass still will need cutting once he get over there.

It behooves many a persons because it is said that this thing... "suffers long in patience, and is kind; it does not envy or is jealous; it does not brag, and is not arrogant or full of pride; it does not seek its own way or act unbecoming; and is not easily provoked to anger, and does not keep record of wrongs suffered; it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in truth; it stands strong in all good things; it believes in all good things; it hopes in all good things; endures in all things the good, the bad, the ugly, and the indifferent, until the end. It is the more excellent way, and without it there is no hope, or peace or faith, this thing is considered the GREATEST OF ALL."

There are so many experienced levels and expressed types of it in our lives daily in different forms: Philia, Eros, Storge, and Agape. SO, what IS this thing that is a normal inborn human emotion?... THIS THINGS IS CALLED TRUE LOVE!!

Someone once said: “In math, love is an equation. In history, love is war. In chemistry, love is a reaction. In art, love is a heart. In me, love is YOU through Jesus Christ.”
