It's funny how we individuals turn from babies to toddlers to playful kids to puberty to adolescence then to adults. It's also strange when and how we shift our mindsets, ideals, emotions, and opinions from the childish to the most mature dispositions. But, the most mysterious of all the things that happen to human beings everyday is how LOVE has become a constant part of everyday life; an abstract feeling which we have for different people, in different occasions and in different ways.
Love...
Somehow it turns many different lives upside down and makes them go around. The challenge is the way we handle the feeling when it is growing stronger or slowly dying down. It has it's differences but it remains the constant word for the feeling... love for a mother/father/both, love for a sister/brother, love for a cousin, love for a niece/nephew, love for an uncle/auntie, love for grandparents, love for a boss, love for a co-worker, love for friends, love for an ordinary stranger, or a love for a special someone... however we call that love we feel for that certain person, it is still love and the test is how we show that we do; the difference is the way it is shown to them.
What makes love a great feeling is when one learns to just give himself/herself to that someone without hesitations, without prejudice, without waiting/wanting/asking for something in return. It's a great feeling when one learns to just let go while love fills in everything inside
the heart.
You know you have felt love when you have learned to just listen and obey without hesitation or regret...
You know you are in love when all you see, feel and smell around you, even in your dreams, is that one special someone...
You know you have love when you just give and give without thinking about asking them or wanting them or even waiting for them to reciprocate the feeling...
You know you feel it when your world revolves around that person, never wanting him/her to let go...
You know you have it, when "Yes" is the only answer to a proposal of "I do's" with that one person...
And lastly, you know you are and have learned and accepted that you have love, if dying for that person doesn't even scare you a bit... =)
That's how great it is... Maybe, it was the same when Jesus felt it too for all of us that it feels so good to have given up your life for a friend, and that we feel so good knowing He loves us until the end.
