Ok today I have a really serious post that I want to talk about. It is on the concept of love. How do you know when someone really loves you? I am not talking about boyfriend-girlfriend love. I am talking love of each other in general because many people do say they love you but when put to the test they sure fail the love test.

Now tell me what exactly is love? How do you know if someone really loves you? When I look at society today I see an absense of real love!!! Everyone says they love you, they are your best friend but at the times when you need them most they betray that love!!!

I am a Christian and I live by that standard but I see a lot of people in churches and other religious institutions who fail the love test when put to the test. Now what exactly is this love test I am talking about???

I am talking about the ability to love someone unconditionally!!! If I call you friend then I should love you ‘no matter what’!!! What do I mean by that statement?

Let me give you some examples to illustrate the point. If I am your parent and you are my child and you are an A Student and you continue to do well in school and I am always boasting in you and letting you know how much I love you etc. What happens if your grades begin to drop? Do I stop loving you? For some parents that is the impression they give their children?

If I am a church member and the whole of our faith is centered around love, how do I react to a fellow church member who gets caught in sin. Do I stop loving them and calling them my brother? If I do then my whole religion was in vain and I am a fake!!!

You need to love the child whether they are passing their exams or not, whether they are on drugs or not, whatever the reason I believe Love that is Unconditional will conquer everything else. Ancient wisdom says to hate sin but love the sinner!!!

I will really like to hear your comments on this post!! What is real love and is it demonstrated today and most importantly do you demonstrate it!!!
