Love
Love is and has always been a choice. Loves stems out of our will to choose. we choose who we love. The very fact that God can command us to love means we have the right to excercise our will to choose. Love has been defined as " the ability to give at the expense of self. God loves us so much that He GAVE His only Son as a sacrifice and payment for our sin nature. The sin nature that was not part of our design, rather a nature of rebellion that was grafted into the perfect nature that God created us with.
God loves us. He made a choice to love us. His love for us is not predicated by our response to His love. He does not love us expecting us to love Him to the degree that He loves us. God;s love has been expressed throughout scripture as the Agape love. A love so strong that our human and finite nature doesn't give us the capacity to love that strong. However as we are being transformed in the image of God in Christ Jesus we must learn some of the foundational concepts of love.
Love is a decision that stems out of our will and not an emotion. Love is expressed through our emotions but we decide who and when we love.
we have to love sacrificially. we love without expecting the other person to love us back. love is the ability to give of ourselves as the expense of self. We love and forgive people with the expectation that we will be loved and forgiven as well. The irony lies in the fact we might not be love or we might not be forgiven. It is indeed a painful realization and experience but yet as christians we have to experience that passion of pain and the inner aches of loneliness that comes with the risk of loving someone.
Christianity like love is a call to suffering. It is a call to experience the pain and suffering heart of God. our Father the King. To love is to be given that awesome privilege to share of ourselves and be transformed into the Heart of God.

The Greatness of God.
Christ birthed in me, and I birthed in Him. He died in me, and I died in Him. Christ ressurected in me and I in him. He lives in me and I live in Him . I declare myself as a misfit in human society and culture so I can grow in Him and Him in me.Every action and spoken word today and forever in my life has to be an act of worship to Him. I submit all of my being as a offering of thanksgiving to God . God is indeed my all in all. God does not exist because He transends existence. He is is not a Being because he lacks matter, volume, weight and size. He is not subject to physical quantities He is the Author of time because He is Eternal. He is the only Eternal Effect that created all other causes. He is greater than the first cause. God's Reality cannot be represented in a mathematical equation but yet creation gives us imperical data's of His reality.
