WHAT TYPE OF LOVE

    "life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him." James1:1                                       Edward Proffitt Th.D.    

 

 

Faith, hope and love are never dying characteristics that cry out biblical 
for Christian lives. There are three "but the greatest of these is love"
(l Corinthians 13:13). Media makes a great deal about a wrong type of love. Much is produced of a Hollywood love that doesn't seem to last very long, but the love of 1 Corinthians 13:13 says "abideth". It is not something That is a bedroom season and then sweep under the rug.  

 

 The afflictions of the overworked populace is brought on by the pressure And mental strain under which people work today to make a living.  It use to be that a person could leave their days work and go home to a loving Family environment. Today it seems family love has collapse under the burden of todays life styles. 

 

keeping up with fashions, Pleasures, credit cards and giving to the kids 
(what I never had), keeps todays families on a roller coaster of anxiety.     The right type of love calms and soothes clamored nerves. It brings 
happiness and contentment. Right type Love helps the body to function harmoniously and to be at its best.

 

Right type love wards off most of the afflictions caused by 
unhappiness, tension and stress. It keeps the family unit from becoming frazzled and shredded.

 

As you Think of the right type of love it doesn't seem silly that a 
mothers gentle kiss can stop a childish scraped elbow from hurting. 
Neither is it imagination when a loved one enters a sick room and 
seems to have an immediate soothing effect upon the suffering patient.  

Since love is the foundation of all the benefits of Christ's sacrifice 
for us, it is easy to accept the fact of the healing power of love and 
our love. There is a real truth in the words of the hymn writer 
"When nothing else could help, love lifted me".  So the question is
---what is the right type of love: John, the gospel writer tells us of 
Gods love John 3:16 has been called the gospel in a nut shell, it says 
"God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that 
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life". 

 

The unknown poet puts it this way "Love is a funny thing, it's just like 
a lizard, it wraps around your heart and pulls at your gizzard"   Life 
experience tells us that real love is not a puppy love, it is a love that 
abides, blossoms and cures the aches and pains of societies intensity. 

A good prayer, for our bustling generation: Lord, help me to conquer  
                     THE RIGHT TYPE OF LOVE!!!!
