It’s What You Choose to Believe Pt. 2

Embedded image from another site


(Continued from Pt. 1)

Famed scientist, science fiction writer, and big bang/evolutionary proponent Isaac Asimov put it this way:

Another way of stating the second law then is, “The universe is constantly getting more disorderly.” Viewed that way we can see the second law all about us. We have to work hard to straighten a room, but left to itself it becomes a mess again very quickly and very easily. Even if we never enter it, it becomes dusty and musty. How difficult to maintain houses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order; how easy to let them deteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses, breaks down, wears out, all by itself—and that is what the second law is all about.

But the crux of evolutionary theory is that things are gaining in complexity, simple life forms giving rise to more sophisticated ones, disorder giving rise to order. This flies in the face of the second law of thermodynamics. On this point alone the theory of evolution would have to be disallowed.

Evolutionists counter this argument by claiming that an energy source can reverse the second law. For example, an outside energy force such as a housekeeper can tidy a disorderly room. They point to the sun as the outside source of energy, and say over billions of years the sun’s energy would be like the busy housekeeper. Simple observation, however, would show that energy from the sun alone is not capable of creating life from something with no life, or complexity from simplicity.

Consider the sun shining on two seedlings: the one alive, the other dead. When equal amounts of water and nutrients are added to both, the live plant flourishes but the dead one decays. Energy from the sun is not enough to give rise to life. And as for the dead plant, it rots and disintegrates in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics.

Just for Fun

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, “God, we don’t need You anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what You did in the beginning.”

“Oh, is that so? Tell Me,” God replies.

“Well,” says the scientist, “we can take plain dirt, form it into the likeness of You, and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”

“That’s very interesting. Show Me,” says God.

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man.

“No, no!” interrupts God. “Get your own dirt.”
***
"NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST!" (EPH.2:9).

"There's none righteous, no not one! … For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Rom.3:10; Eph.2:8). That principle is true of everything--including our service to the Lord!

Our service must not be self-works and self-effort! It has to be the Lord!--Otherwise it's self-righteousness, self-works and self-energy, what the Lord calls "a voluntary humility," sort of a self-made spirituality (Col.2:18). It's the Lord that gets the credit for it all!

It's just like Salvation; you can't work it up no matter how hard you try! There's nothing you can do to get it except just humble yourself and receive it by faith! There's no way you can get it except just by the grace of God, just a pure gift!--And that's what we have to recognize about works too. The Lord wants us to throw ourselves at the complete mercy of the Lord!--Just to give up on ourselves and depend on the Lord to the point where we have nothing left but God.

It's all the Lord!--We have almost nothing to do with it! This is what we need to learn: To let go and let God!--Amen? Lie back in His arms and let Him do it! Rest in the Lord!

It’s What You Choose to Believe Pt. 1

Embedded image from another site


Written by Richard Johnston 03/07

Question: How did the universe and all that is in it come into existence? Did some inexplicable event set off the process or was it the work of an intelligent designer?

The two sides of the debate

True science is based on what is known as the “scientific method,” by which knowledge is advanced by formulating a question, collecting data about it through observation and experiment, and testing a hypothetical answer. Only after such experimentation has proven a scientific theory to be true by producing observable and repeatable results does the theory move into the realm of scientific fact.

Atheistic and materialistic science proposes two major theories for our origins. First the big bang theory to explain how the universe came into existence, and then evolution for how life began.

More and more evidence is being uncovered that indicates the universe and all that is in it was the work of an intelligent designer, not chance. The truth is that the theories of the big bang and evolution are not as factual and convincing as their proponents pretend.

Because neither of these theories nor the belief in the Creation being wrought by God can be observed or repeated under observable experimental conditions, they are all belief systems that remain within the realm of faith. It comes down to what—and whom—you choose to believe.

Scientific laws that big bang/evolution defy

When something is a law of science, it means that it is an unchanging principle of nature. It is a scientifically observable phenomenon that has been subjected to extensive measurements and experimentation and has repeatedly proved to be invariable throughout the known universe (e.g., the law of universal gravitation and the laws of motion).

A scientific law that is defied by the big bang theory is the law of the conservation of angular momentum. This law states that if an object is spinning and part of that object detaches and flies off, the part that flies off will spin in the same direction as the object it detached from.

The big bang theory goes through constant revision as new data is interjected into the equation, but in essence it states that the universe began from a furiously spinning, infinitesimally small but immensely dense dot. The dot exploded in the “the big bang” that threw out matter that expanded into all the astral bodies that comprise the universe, which is still expanding.

It is true that the planets are observed to be spinning, but according to the law of the conservation of angular momentum, if all the planets spun off from the same original object, then they would all be spinning in the same direction. Even an examination of our own solar system shows that Venus and Uranus spin in the opposite direction than the rest of the planets do. This evidence alone disproves the big bang theory.

One of the laws of physics is termed the second law of thermodynamics. This law observes the fact that the usable energy in the universe is diminishing. Ultimately, there would be no available energy left.

Stemming from this fact we find that the most probable state for any natural system is one of disorder. All natural systems degenerate when left to themselves.

Treasury of Scripture

Then answered Peter and said to him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.… Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Matthew 19:27, 28 NASB 1 Corinthians 6:3 NASB John 7:24 KJB

Ruminations on Our Amazing Bodies

Embedded image from another site


Written by Richard Johnston 06/08

I’m decidedly squeamish, so when the Psalmist tells me that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), I’m inclined to take his word for it. Let what goes on beneath my skin remain unseen and largely forgotten, I say, while I go about my business in blissful ignorance. Not everyone is so inclined. In the past two or three hundred years—about three thousand years after ancient Israel’s awestruck King David sang those praises to his Creator—some more inquisitive and decidedly less squeamish types have made some amazing discoveries that give us reason to exclaim with David, “How precious are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:17,14).

According to the Bible’s book of Genesis, we humans are unique in that we were created in God’s own image. God shaped the first man from a pile of dust, and when He gave that inanimate figure the kiss of life—voilà!—Adam became a living soul. Realizing that Adam would be lonely, and finding that he had a rib that he could spare for a while, God took a rib and made Eve. Skeptics have long derided that account, but modern medicine gives it some credence.

When an accident victim needs reconstructive surgery, thoracic (chest) surgeons routinely remove ribs to use for bone grafting. The periosteum is a membrane that covers all bone surfaces except at joints, and it contains cells that can manufacture new bone. Rib periosteum has an extraordinary ability to regenerate, especially in young people. When a rib is removed, leaving the periosteum in place and as intact as possible, the rib often grows back, as Adam’s may have. A major reason why the rib is the ideal situation for such regeneration is that the attached intercostal muscles provide it with a good blood supply. God’s pretty smart.

Our bodies have many other features that are tributes to our Creator’s forethought and ingenuity. Here is a small sampling:

* The human skeleton is a dynamic, flexible, self-maintaining framework of bone and cartilage with hinges and joints. To cut down harmful friction, the body lubricates itself by manufacturing a jelly-like substance at each place it is needed.

* The body has an amazingly complex and efficient chemical plant that changes the food we eat into living tissue. It not only causes the growth of flesh, blood, bones, and teeth, but it also has a remarkable ability to repair itself when parts are damaged by accident or disease.

* We are able to detect and differentiate sounds thanks to a tiny, intricate instrument inside the ear. Sound waves go down the auditory canal, and are converted to vibrations by the eardrum. Now in the middle ear, the vibrations are picked up by the ossicles (the three tiniest, most delicate bones in the body), and passed along to the cochlea, or inner ear, which is rolled up like a tiny sea shell and is filled with liquid. The vibrations set the liquid in wave-like motion that is detected by microscopic hairs, also in the cochlea, creating nerve signals that the brain understands as sound and interprets.

* Werner Gitt, a former professor at Germany’s Federal Institute of Physics and Technology, wrote: “Without a doubt, the most complex information-processing system in existence is the human body.” He estimated that the total information that each of our bodies deals with each day—all the information involved in conscious processes such as language and voluntary movements, plus the information used in the unconscious functions of the organs and various systems—is about 1024 bits. To put this astronomically high figure in more relatable terms, that’s about one million times greater than the total human knowledge stored in all the world’s libraries.

We are wonderfully made indeed!

Guardians of the Universe and The Master Imitator

Embedded image from another site


By PowerPointParadise and Keys 01/15

The world sets poised to go to war, the next war to end all wars. Only this time, it might be true. But what if the next invasion was not from this Earth, but from an extraterrestrial source? I am not really suggesting that little gray space aliens are going to invade the planet. However, the globalists have a plot to make you believe that this is the case. It is the Plan B from Outer Space.

Plan B

IF a series of false flag events do not result in World War III and if the world ends up in a cold war, is there a Plan B which could result in the unification of all currency and governmental power under one centralized authority? (Video Posted - Operation Blue Beam!)

Revelations 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman (The Ecclesia - Christians), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. (Master Imitator Plots)

This is where we play a major part as Christian projectors, we’re sending out a Flood of Love and Truth!

SIGHTINGS, ANGELIC PARADES, and DEMONSTRATIONS:

Let me introduce some of my experience revolving around our Epic Thriller Quotation, Luke 10:23, 24

“Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many Prophets and Kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to Hear those things which ye hear, and have not Heard them."

THE PYRAMID PARADE & STAR CONSORT OF 84':

My mate woke me around 4 am with a rush, “Honey, Honey, Rex is calling our attention”; she led the way as our 5 children and I was drawn after her … Lo, there in the morning light our Rooster, Rex, was glowing with a Golden Hora Voicing incomparable Praises of the soon to follow Celestial Parade that burst forth with a Dazzling Shower of Multicolored Stars (Angelic Vessels) that formed a Scintillating Pyramid with a Consort Ship aside them, a Huge Ball of Light.

OUR STAR GUARDIAN SUBFLEET:

Around the month of Christmas 2009, the Lord opened an awesome revealing of our “Star Guardian Subfleet”:

At first it was just thought of as lighted fish near the shore that had just appeared one night as I patrolled the beach front. I mentioned it to the other guards a couple times later and none of them saw these red lighted fishes.

Then as the days and weeks past, one night they started something very unusual, a Parade of sorts with many sub-vessels stemming from the shoreline to the distant horizon, like bobbing lights at various distances especially around the main area where the displays centered in front of me performing militant flanking maneuvers.

The sightings continued up to Christmas morning with unreal demonstrations showing our Starships descending from the distant horizon as bright stars to the oceans edge, then zooming to the beach front a couple seconds later.

At this point it was obvious to me that these red-lighted vessels were indeed supportive and working with us. So I prayed and asked the Lord for a name that I might identify with them, and the response revealed “Sir Williams”: Findings resonated with the images of Commander Sir Williams, and “Red Squadron Subfleet–I was made aware that our heavenly Guardians were stewards over many things and that at times they materialized and walked about me voicing in a soft tone “We’re Here”.

On Christmas morn the sky was opaque covering with glare upon the waters: 5:30 I talked with my supervisor on the cell phone exchanging Christmas Cheers, at that very moment, one of the Subship’s pierced the surface of the water approximately 40 ft. out from where I sat with a Ruby Red beam of light, Spherical in shaped, quietly out of the water looking straight at me in conformation of our Savior’s Glory.

Resolve to Be Content this Year

Embedded image from another site


By Jonathan Santiago

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Tim 6:6 NKJV

January 1st is the day for many that self-improvement resolutions are made. Most will be financial, business, or personal fitness goals.

There is nothing wrong with any of that.

In fact, Proverbs 21:5 states that the plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty.

Yet as children of the King we should be cautious of the motivation behind any resolutions we might make. Are our goals generated from a state of discontentment?

To say "I won't be content until this happens" means God is not enough for us now. And if God is not enough now, it means we'll be striving to accomplish that resolution by our own strength.

Paul says, "Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content." Phil 4:11 NKJV

Paul knew who he was. Paul was aware of his identity as a child of the King. When we say to ourselves, "I'm lacking", or "I'm insufficient in my current state", then we are living below our privileges. The prodigal son left his father's estate to work by his own strength. That didn't turn out well. The other son stayed, but lived below his privileges because he was waiting on something he already had access to.

Remember, godliness with contentment is great gain. Unlike the riches of the world, the riches of God cannot be taken away from you. When we are content we put ourselves in a position for God to bless us.

Once we know who we are in Christ, every resolution we set should be in Him and for Him. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve our situation for the Glory of the Kingdom. In fact, God commissioned us to go out and do the work of His Kingdom. And when he commissioned us, he also equipped us with everything we need.

Perhaps a good practice for the start of this New Year is simply deciding to be content.

Before setting any goals or resolutions, spend some quiet time with the Father thanking him for what He has done. Thank Him for who He is, who you are, and acknowledge that He is more than enough. Regardless of your state: in debt, deployed in the military, family health issues, homeless… God is enough for you. It's important to find that place. It may be difficult at first. It may only come through prayer and worship. But God would rather have you be complete in Him with zero resolutions than discontent in Him and hit every resolution you set.

Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4

Another way to look at this scripture is that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, our desires will begin to align with his desires.

So find that special place of contentment where the Father can show you just how complete in Him you are. Delight yourself in His ways. When you do this, any goal or resolution you set will be one that God can bless!
**
SOMETIMES YOUR VERY WEAKNESS IS YOUR STRENGTH!

We are prone to equate bigness with greatness, numbers with power, and property with accomplishment, whereas none of this is necessarily true! In fact, the smartest thing you can do is to seem insignificant, weak, unimportant and of no consequence as far as your enemies are concerned!

When you try to muscle in on the Devil's territory, watch out! When you come up above ground and have such seeming success with tremendous numbers and popularity, watch out! Whenever you get big and powerful, you begin to threaten the security of the status quo! You endanger the Establishment, and they will do their best to wipe you out before you do them in! So keep it small!

New Year, New Commitments

Embedded image from another site


Written by Peter Amsterdam 01 January 2015

The beginning of a new year is such an interesting time. We often think back over our experiences of the past year as well as look ahead to what the new year will bring. It can be encouraging to see the challenges met, the victories won, the progress made, the commitments carried through, and the blessings we’ve had throughout the previous year. It’s also a time to assess areas where we had hoped we’d make headway but didn’t quite live up to our aspirations. Perhaps there’s something to learn from the hard times and difficulties—or even some outright failures—that we experienced.

As the door to the new year opens, and while you are thinking about the resolutions or commitments you will make, this is also a good time to put some thought and prayer into your relationship with Jesus, your prayer life, your service, your giving. The tasks of supporting ourselves and our families, raising and educating our children, taking care of our daily needs, are all vital responsibilities and part of what builds a better future in this life and world; yet we are reminded of what Jesus told His followers: “Desire first and foremost God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”1

Making commitments to our relationship with God, to basing our values on His teachings, can and will make a difference in our daily lives throughout our lifetime and in the hereafter as well. These commitments will make us more Christlike in our interactions with others and a greater blessing to our families, friends, and loved ones—better individuals, more godly human beings. That’s worth committing to.

The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the “buts” you use today.—Les Brown (b. 1945)

The problem that we are facing in the church today is that we have so many Christians who have made a decision to believe in Jesus but not a commitment to follow Him. We have people who are planning to, meaning to, trying to, wanting to, going to, we just don’t have people who are doing it.—Tyler Edwards

1. Matthew 6:33 CEB
**
JESUS HAD TO COME HERE TO LEARN THROUGH THIS LIFE'S EXPERIENCES, AND THE SAME IS TRUE OF US!

"Though Jesus was a Son, yet learned He obedience through the things which He suffered" (Heb.5:8). Why did He have to learn? Wasn't He God? Didn't He know everything? He said, "I only know what the Heavenly Father shows Me" (Jn.5:19,20).

And the main thing God was trying to show Him was how to love mankind, how to love people, how to love them enough to be willing to die for them!--To see their suffering, to have compassion on them, to want to heal their sick and save their souls, that's what Jesus learned while He was here!--Enough to be willing to choose to actually die for them, to save not only their bodies, but their immortal spirits, their souls!

And for what purpose did He have to learn these things? Just to be forgotten and left behind when He left this world? No! To take all that with Him, all that knowledge, all that experience and to thereby have a greater sympathy and love for us and be a greater help to us both now and hereafter!

If Jesus could learn obedience to the Father through the things which He suffered here on Earth in human form, how much more are we here to learn?

2015 New Year's Resolution: LET IT GO!!!

There are a lot of people who will make and break 2015 New Year's resolutions. There are some who will not even make them, and many will do their very best to keep their promises (resolutions) they make to themselves. Here is a 2015 RESOLUTION we ALL should make and Keep for the New Year 2015, if God be willing and so gracious that we should live to see 2015 come and go, in good health and HALF-WAY enclosed in our right minds.

This word of exhortation is from a sermon by Bishop TD Jakes in 2010, and is fit for all times. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear and be a doers of this word, and not just a hearer of this powerful word.

"Let It Go" by Bishop TD Jakes - 2010

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that, "they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us." [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to . .

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...

LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you...

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents...

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...

LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him...

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship...

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed...

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to...

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2010 (2013-2014-2015)!!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left. think about it, and then...

LET IT GO!!!

The Gift of Prophecy - Final

Embedded image from another site


Christians often claim promises that were given, for example, specifically to the Israelites. We have had the faith to claim those verses because we consider them to be God’s Word, which could be called upon in different situations, even if they were given for a particular situation or have yet to be fulfilled. We know that the principle of God's miraculous power as exhibited by His promises and their fulfillment is a principle that can be claimed in prayer. We can always benefit from the spiritual principles underlying a promise that was given for a specific time or situation.

We can’t fathom the full scope of God’s plan and will regarding His promises, which is why Paul said, “Who can know the mind of the Lord? … How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out.”1 Only He knows whether, how, or when His promises will be fulfilled. Nor can we say that they won’t be fulfilled in the future. The fulfillment may come about in ways that are different from what we expect or how we may have interpreted the prophecy and expected it to be fulfilled.

He works within the boundaries of our understanding, just as a parent does with a child, who takes the child where he’s at in his development and works within the limits of his capacities. We only know in part. We can only prophesy in part.2

God will generally speak to us within the context of our faith. However, if the Lord wants to give us something outside our understanding, we can trust that as we call on Him desperately for His plan, He surely will—even if He has to come through with revelations beyond our previous experience and faith. By the same token, if He, for reasons known only to Him, decides not to lead us in a new direction until the time of His choosing, we also need to understand that it is within His prerogative to do so.

Ultimately, this is where the God factor comes in, knowing and believing that He is greater than our human limitations and understanding. He guides us in answer to our desperate prayers, even when that might mean expanding beyond our previous boundaries and faith.

1 Romans 11:34, 33.

2 1 Corinthians 13:9.
**
Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their up building and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 ESV

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 ESV

In the last days, God says, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy."
Acts 2:17–18 NIV.

Do You Give Good Love?

How many times how you heard, or even told someone “I love you?”, but deep down you really didn't mean it? The word “love” is so often misused, abused, and used as a meaningless manipulative cliche to accomplish many things; the good, the bad, the ugly, and the indifferent. It is used to satisfy the selfish person who is without meaning toward self-gratification, and the selfless person with worth and meaning from the heart in many ways.

Good healthy true LOVE lies within the heart of every person God has created. It is essential to man’s existence and relationship with God, others, and personal-self, because love is a self-sacrifice, no matter who you are or what you may think about God. Human love whether Godward or manward, or even self-ward the source of true love comes from God. Why? … because God is Love, its who He is, its His character, and this is one of His attributes that He gave to mankind upon creating man in His own image, God has given every human being the emotional ability to love.

Good Love is the more excellent way… giving unselfishly: for God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son that whosoever (that’s you and me) believes in Jesus Christ should not perish but have everlasting (eternal) life.

Do You Give Good Love?
Agape

This is an unconditional love that sees beyond the outer surface and accepts the recipient for whom he/she is, regardless of their flaws, shortcomings or faults. It’s the type of love that everyone strives to have for their fellow human beings. Although you may not like someone, you decide to love them just as a human being. This kind of love is all about sacrifice as well as giving and expecting nothing in return. The translation of the word agape is love in the verb – form: it is the love demonstrated by your behavior towards another person. It is a committed and chosen love.

Phileo
The phileo love refers to an affectionate, warm and tender platonic love. It makes you desire friendship with someone. It’s the kind of love which livens up the Agape love. Although you may have an agape love for your enemies, you may not have a phileo love for the same people. The translation of the word phileo is love in the noun – form: it is how you feel about someone. It is a committed and chosen love.

Storge
It is a kind of family and friendship love. This is the love that parents naturally feel for their children; the love that member of the family have for each other; or the love that friends feel for each other. In some cases, this friendship love may turn into a romantic relationship, and the couple in such a relationship becomes best friends. Storge love is unconditional, accepts flaws or faults and ultimately drives you to forgive. It’s committed, sacrificial and makes you feel secure, comfortable and safe.

Eros
Eros is a passionate and intense love that arouses romantic feelings; it is the kind that often triggers “high” feelings in a new relationship and makes you say, “I love him/her”. It is simply an emotional and s*xual love. Although this romantic love is important in the beginning of a new relationship, it may not last unless it moves a notch higher because it focuses more on self instead of the other person. If the person “in love” does not feel good about their relationship anymore, they will stop loving their partner. Different types of love is from typesoflove.org

Do You Give Good Love? Good Love is unconditional, it looks beyond faults and sees the need to love. When I meet your needs to receive good love, I meet my own needs to give good love.
