What is love??? No really.....love. How do you describe it? How do you know that that is what you in fact are in? Do you ever really know? Or is there a point where you just all of a sudden just KNOW that you know that you know?? Some Christians give the "ultraspiritual" answer. "It's like 1Corinthians 13 says...it's patient, and kind, and does not envy and is not boastful..." That answer does not satisfy the "earthly" more tangible essence of life....seriously how do you know? Butterflies in the stomach? A "sparkle" in their eye......I've determined that life is sooo complex...so subjective....and trying to figure out where one truely fits in and really understands where he/she is.....or maybe that's just the girl in me....never knowing how I feel...always so emotional....I'm thankful that God is above all human emotion. That He in fact is not just a feeling.....and that He never changes like our emotions.....I guess when trying to answer the love question, as a Christian, we must look to God....cuz He IS Love.....I just find that so hard to fit into a category that we can give humanly experiential terms to. Ultimately I don't think we can do justice that way.....but I guess we can try.

Hey Sasha,
i once had a wise man tell me just to pursue God and one day you will look beside you and you will notice a girl/guy going in the same direction at the same speed... and then you will know that it's God~ I fully believe that... go check out robbies site and his blog about love! Love is unconditional, it is given without condition, it is given wheather we have the 'fuzzies' or not, it is never taken away or revoked, you may not like the person but you MUST love them! I am going to stop because i could ramble about this passionate topic for forever! Be blessed, keep truckin girly!
