Love: An Act of Will, not of heart

Love: An Act of Will, not of heart

What can you find in the heart?
The heart is just a pumping organ that supplies blood to the body.
You can't find anything there but blood, cells and blood vessels.

According to scientists, our emotions are developed not in the heart
but in a system in the body called the Lymbic system.

What is your definition of love?
Love can't be defined, only can be described.

Love according to 1 Corinthian 13:4-7:Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it
is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Now, I'll give you an example of an unconditional love...

God is omnicient and omnipotent. He knows what will happen in the
future. Why did he made you even if he knows that you will only sin and
hurt God, nailing Him again? It is because of love. Even though He
knows that His Son will go through pain and suffering and mind you, His
faced was totally deformed according to Isaiah, He still sent His only
Son for us to be saved.

The King of all kings and the Lord of all Lords died for you.He is above all. Above all powers, above all kings and all created
things. Yet, He took wore the nature of a servant.
It is the will of the Lord that He humbly took the risk of being human.

He felt hunger and pain.
Every stripe upon His battered back,
Every thorn that pierced His brow,
Every nail drove deep through His guiltless hands,
is for you.
All the way to the cross, He keeps on thinking of you and me, even in the midst of danger and

nearly death.

It is because of love that the Father gave and it’s such an amazing
demonstration of love that a King would die for you and for me.

But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8, John 3:16).

Is God crazy? Seems foolish right? But God's foolishness is wiser than
human wisdom.He made a fool of Himself in order for us to to have
eternal life.

You see? God acted it out. With all wisdom, he demonstrated His love
for you and me.It is the will of the Lord that Jesus would suffer for
us. Jesus even said : "Thy will be done".


What's more? Did you know when did God love you?
God created your inmost being and knit him together in your mother's womb. Through the years, God watched you grow grow, play,laugh, cry, live and love. Your name He had written on the palm of His hand; Your tears He had kept in His heart. He even know every hair on your head. Whatever you have done with your life cannot change the way God value you, and there's nothing you can do that can make Him love you less.He sees your sins would look on you with love and call you to be His own.

Yes. From the beginning until forever. His love is eternal.

There is no greater love than this: That a man would give his life for
a friend.There is no higher sacrifice than a man would give his life.
