What is the Essence of Love?

[Edwin]

When you are in love you are blind, and also it takes your appetite away!

[farmer]

When I got a very strong feeling to someone, I lose appetite, too I keep on thinking of him, day dreaming we are together and hoping always there for me. Presence is so important for someone I love. What a wonderful feeling someone should experience. Do not let someone fall-out inlove with you.

I read that, Time equate to Love.

How much time you give is what you are giving love. Can be the person, can be the thing, can be your work. Or how about your relationship with God? Are you giving time and the first or seek first in life and giving him your undivided time before you start your day? If you love God, you spend time to read His word and pray to Him. How much time do you give on most? Then that is what is your love most.

[Edwin]

I agree that time given does equate to love. Whatever we love we will give time to. Whatever we give time to we will love. In a relationship the young couple gives time to each other. I read visa journey for fun, and it is unbelievable the amount of time some couples spend with each other over the internet, or cell, or skype. A husband and wife spend time with each other, give time to each other if they love each other. And yes, giving God time is extremely important, with our Bible reading, our prayer, and our church attendance. It is very important to give God time in our lives!

Sacrifice is the essence of love. When you love someone, you are giving your time, energy and emotion. If you love someone, you spend time together and making someone very important in your life. Also loving someone is to pray for him/her. To love someone is always desiring what is good and best for him/her. Always giving hope and positive words.

There are times that love is not visible but deep in heart, there is love that he or she feels for you. Sometimes, words are not just enough it should be coupled with action. Love indeed will always lead to the cross. to do what is right and to do what is acceptable in the sight of God. Outside of that, that is not true love.

[Edwin]

Yes, where there is love there is sacrifice. God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. If you love you will be giving. Desiring the best for the other person is part of loving. Giving hope and positive words helps the one being loved. Love involves doing what is right before God because He must be honored above all things.

[crisipicada]

Sacrifice in the sense that you are giving your time for someone. Thus, time spending to someone is already a sacrifice on your part.

[Edwin]

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God love in that He gave his only Son. Jesus loved in that he made Himself a sacrifice for us, who were not deserving of that love. Selflessness is part of love. Sacrificing time shows love. Love is shown by doing for the other person with no expectation of a return. There is a beautiful song, "Love is when," and right now I don't remember a lot of it, but I play it on the piano every so often, and it has to do with God giving, and Jesus giving. Love truely is the greatest and the lasting one!

Desiring good for someone, is one of the indication that someone loves you. Many times I am sad in life, I realize that someone to talk to is very important. I can feel that my mother is so sensitive about this matter.She really knows that I have a problem when she sees my attitude and seeing my eyes. She really knows, as the saying goes, "mothers knows".

When someone you can talk to, someone you can count on and have listening heart and ears, that is love. For, to love is to desire what is good to the beloved.
