Tainted Love

Love is corner stone in almost ever culture, even if we do not realize it. Cultures that do not believe in the God I believe in have God's of love, or their God is one of love. Men have killed over the losing loved ones. With all that being said I still believe or Culture of Love has become tainted. In the Christian Community and in the American World.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part,¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13

So this is what real Love is. And it truly is the greatest thing that drives our lives. But for some reason we have changed our tune. We look to Pop Culture to see what love is. As men we think that it is o.k .to call women sluts. And we think it is o.k. to sleep around,as long as we use a rubber. I am in fact guilty of some of this myself.

Now I know this love applies to more than just a man and a women! But I am looking at in that way right now. For me I know I have not been the best boyfriend to girls in the past. I have done things that I am not proud of, I can say I never hit a girl before. But cheat yes.

I am not proud of the fact that I have had sex before marriage and only one of the girls I was in love with. And because of that act that relationship, that with both said was God center did not work out.

But I can tell you one thing I am a sinner that has been saved by grace and the love of God. So although I have messed up, I am still loved. And that is the kinda love that we need to try and give.

Carry True Love and Gods Love into all that you do!
