Love........All Encompassing

What is Love, what are different kinds of Love........what is Love to you........yes i know very broad but we will narrow the scope of this Convo tonight and this post will be continued later tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry the continuation of this post took so long to get up. But here is part of the process the conversation went through the other night.

1.What is Love?
*I know its vague but it goes somewhere
2.What Does Love Mean to You?
3. What does it even matter? Why care about love?
4.Why should an individual even bother showing love?
5.What does love look like?
*Love = (verb)
*God = Love
*God = (verb)?.....
So diffrent rationals came about for these and other questions but insted of putting everything that has already been said i would love some new imput.
Here is a little bit more that was discussed.
We believe God is a limitless God which means God is huge and operates outside the realm of our understanding and language. We dont comprehend that because our thoughts our constrained to that which we can know express and comprehend. So therefore we cannot get a grasp on who or what God is or can do. Since God is love the same is true for Love. Because God is that big Love is that big and our minds cannot fully comprehend what all that entails. The thing is we are called to Love everyone.....so we are called to "God"(verb) everyone? So that means we have at our disposable the endless possablilities of all which Love encompasses. Which yet again we do not fully get a grasp on. But when we think of limitless capabilites we have to try and get our mind out of the norm. For example when we refer to things such as carrying eachothers burdens. Because of love that is no longer a metophorical thing but an actual physical process because Love has the capabilites to transced our understanding.

  1. Like we talked about last night I think that we are given love by God and we in turn are filled with his love ( Essentially we are filled with God because God is love) that all we can do is spread it to everyone we come into contact with. And as we spread this love we give people a hope for an unfailing and unchanging love which is GOD. Because we as humans cant comprehend a perfect love which is God.
