Love does not manipulate. It does not willfully harm. It does not ignore your needs for its own. Yet, that is the love that is sung about and highlighted through entertainment. In the media, love is destructive, continually tearing down and building walls. But, that is not real love. True love was revealed in the person of Jesus Christ.
Giving up the comfort of Heaven and the absolute authority of divinity, he came to earth to put love into action. He did not manipulate, he brought freedom. He did not harm, he healed. And, he willingly went to the Cross in order to provide salvation and hope for you and me.

very good post.
it sometimes gets very frustrating seeing the different and SO off-the-mark views of love that the world has.
