Useless Love?

Agallagher said:

Love.

How can you uselessly use it?

• For me to uselessly use it, is to manipulate people, abuse people mentally, and constantly lie. Let me be your friend specifically for the reason of getting everything I can out of you. What a useless waste of love.
• I have also been this person.

What do you say love is?

• For me to say what love is would require me to show you. I can not show you that, except through words on a computer screen.
• 
  
• Oh you are reading this, hey let me remind you of something you matter, and important more than you may realize. No matter how hard life may seem right now. Everyone deserves some support sometimes, and encouragement in our troubled, weary, and tiring dark world.
• 
  
• God loves you and cares about you right now as you are, never forget that.

Why is it even important to love?

• Why is it even important to love, for me it is because the light from the spirit of Christ Jesus shines, you don't even have to live to be a 'people pleaser'. By the spirit we can be patient, and be kind to all types of personalities, and character. Sometimes we might need to ask God for help to not be afraid.

• It is important to love, in a manner that is kind, gentle, why? Because no one will ever be able to blame you for anything you have done wrongly towards them. How is that? Because you were gentle and kind with them through the spirit we are given by God.

How would you love a person who is charge over the country?

• Pray for them with no biases. Pray for all the community authority, and respect them. You will never have to worry about being trouble or in tragedy when you trust God, and pray for all the people you know in your life, and even those who are running in the country and trying to protect the streets from the dangers of others out there.

Is it important to love, with hateful tactics?

• No. This is as useless, as the first question. Never try to Gaslight anyone to believe like you do because you disagree... allow freedom, not bondage.

What does love even mean to you as a human being down inside your heart?

• That is for you decide. God already knows my heart, it is not always perfect.

Why don't you use God's definition of love? 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.

Aussie, it really says that? Are those things it is saying really important? If so, what do you think about them?

God's love is not like human love. The only way we can obtain God's love is from God Himself. He IS love. Love is not an emotion. Human love can be offended and turn to hate in no time. That's why there are so many divorces.
If we are serious about being Christian, we need to love with the love that God gives. If we do, we will be patient with those who are struggling or who do not respond to the gospel. We will forgive all those who offend us. Wouldn't that be a blessing? The world is so easily offended that truth is being suffocated by sinners who don't want to be told they are incurring God's wrath.
Love does not condone evil. It rather rejoices in the truth. Truth is a precious and threatened commodity these days. Love can handle pressure, can believe when everything seems to be against it and real love never fails. What Christian would not want to be like that?

i believe God is love! He made billions of children in His image, purely His offspring. Acts 17:28 Yet the enemy came, through the world and the family and took it all away and stuffed it up with lies. Psalm 51:5.

Lies turn love into a commodity that must be earned. Love is not eternal in the hands of the wicked for they kill our good times, they never last. Making our hearts empty and forlorn. Yet truly all people ever thirst after is true love, sadly all of us end up killing it in our hearts, through the lies within us we begin to produce untrue love and other untrue life.

This is why we need Jesus. Jesus like our Heavenly Father is love Himself, just like His dad, One in essence in every way. Jesus has a Spirit that has overcome the lies and temptations of the devil, He wants to share that with us. If we lay down our lives of sin He will raise our lives back up again in His Spirit of loving truth.

Washed by His blood and reborn in His loving truth we can love again, just like God. Love truthfully.

Truthful love will always love God first and neighbour as well as self. True love will always love truth and bulk at lies. True love follows the Voice of Jesus who say to us that He will come and make His home in us. Every heart that loves truly harbours God Himself, isn't that a wonderful Revelation?


That His loving truth may always rule your heart.

Peace.

An invitation to The Chosen.

God's Love will not take or will
you to conform to rules or demand
which imprison, enslave, burn or kill you.

God's Love will not pervert what's Good
The Lord loves truthfully Wise and Good.
True Love was, is and always will be Good!

In God's Love you are free to be right!
In His love everything is good proper and kind.
He loves all who love good and true to rule!

His Love is caring, providing, and sharing.
His Love always enjoys and protects good life.
His love rules even when bad life has being in us!

Hear Jesus call - 'Come join up with us all!
Leave whatever ties you down and be free
loving good life with all God's own to be.'

To the rest in your heart God's asks
how long will you tarry in the darkness?
Please leave such bad existence within.

For life must not, no never should, or would, or could,
be forceful, rude, prideful, arrogant, selfish, lustful
or otherwise be untrue to God's loving truth.

Neither should life be hurting or ill,
hungry, oppressed, despised, hated
or otherwise have existence in wrong.

Please hand your Bad Life over to Jesus
Humbly ask for His Good Life back in return
and go love God, self and neighbour with Joy.

The Church knows that Jesus is coming soon
All bad life will be our shameful past then,
so please leave your bad life while you can!

Hello @Agallagher, there is an excellent teaching series from Dr. R. C. Sproul that address the love of God, called Loved By God. It's free to stream (watch or just listen to) right now by going here.

Or if you are an Amazon Prime member, it's free to watch there too. Just search the word "Sproul" or click here: Watch Loved by God | Prime Video

I just finished going through it, in fact (each session is about 23-24 minutes, so it must have been originally made for his radio broadcast ministry called, Renewing Your Mind).

God bless you!

--David
p.s. - I always thought it would be something like God's omnipresence, or the Trinitarian nature of the Godhead, that would take most of the eternity that we have before us to fully comprehend, but I have come to believe that fully understanding the depth of His ἀγάπη (transliterated "agape"/godly love) is what will take the longest.

If you consider about many marriages, many are hating each other when they said that they begin with love; you find many people’s love FAIL.

If you consider about parents and children, they cannot see eye to eye about their relationship when they said that you are brought from young with love; you find many people’s love grow COLD.

If you consider about relatives or friends or acquaintances, they quarreled and disagreed when they said that they begin to get along nicely and comfortably; you find many people’s love turn SOUR.

If you consider about people and country or company or organization or even church, they fought and debate when they said that they began to fight for this country or organization with love; you find many people’s love are WASTED away.

When you heard, saw, and touched many lives who has LOST love, won’t you consider that you have the strength to love to begin with ?

Where do many people get it wrong ?
Have we not heard this:

Seek the LORD and HIS STRENGTH; seek his presence continually! -Psalms 105:4

Why the Lord considers that we need His strength?

Also, why ?
may have STRENGTH TO COMPREHEND with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, -Ephesians 3:18
and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. -Ephesians 3:19

Yes, why apostle Paul spoke that we need the strength to comprehend the love of Christ?

Why many cannot comprehend the love of their spouse, children, friends, country or organization?

Is it because they don’t realize that they don’t have the strength to comprehend the love of the other/s begin with ?

Have you heard this:
May the LORD GIVE STRENGTH TO HIS PEOPLE! May the LORD bless his people with peace! -Psalms 29:11

If the Lord ask us to seek His strength and the Lord may give His strength to His people, why many still count on their strength to love and comprehend love ?

Are we God’s people only allowed to have the strength to comprehend the love of Christ and not allowed to comprehend the love of our spouse, children, friends, country or organization?

Sure, we are allowed but only through the love of Christ.

That is why of importance that God told us to love Him with all our hearts, our souls, our minds and our strengths.

Why? Without love of God, we don’t have the capacity to forgive, to bear, to endure, to hope ; only in Christ, we have the strength to bear the cross when our loved ones whether our spouse, children, friends, country or organization hurt, offend, reject, abandon, disappoint, upset, mistreat us.

For we have heard :
GREATER LOVE has no one than this, that someone LAY DOWN HIS LIFE for his friends. -John 15:13

We find that only through Christ, we have the strength to lay down our life for others, just like Christ lay down His life for us.

Yes, when we laid down our life, that is, the greater love in this newness of life with Christ, which God the Father created in the likeness of the Lamb of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Amen ( To God be the glory )

I don’t believe in love for a long time. This feeling is very painful.
