ALL WE NEED IS LOVE

At the end of it, we all just want to be loved. And whether we want to admit it or not, everyone wants to be in love. We want someone to love us, and we want someone to love.

Love gives us strength and joy. Love makes us feel invincible. I once overheard someone say that loving one person truly and wholly is the equivalent of loving the entire world. People act differently when they are in love — they’re kinder, more compassionate, forgiving and optimistic. The whole world looks pretty through the eyes of love. A hateful person is bitter, critical and cynical. They have a problem for every solution. But a person in love is positive, peaceful and pleasant. This is because we were created to love. The Bible says, ‘God is love.’ Not that He has love, but that He is love itself. And if we were created in the image of God, then it means that the desire to love exists in all of us. This is why the anointing is so attractive; because that love permeates through the person.

Of course there are different kinds of love. There’s Philia, affectionate love. Storge, familiar love. Eros, romantic love. Pragma, enduring love. Ludus, playful love. Mania, obsessive love. Philautia, self-love. And Agape, unconditional God-kind of love. This means that we’re able to love different people in different ways. So the storge love that you have for family is different from the eros love you have for a spouse. But no matter the type of love, it makes you feel special, wanted, appreciated and safe.
