Life and Love!
Life is beautiful! Love is beautiful! but which is better? Is there one more superior than the other? We humans, put so much emphasis on life and living... and material things to make us "happy" in this life. We have to have the right look, right body, lots of money, be popular, and all these things, although none of them bad, but all of them.... petty, and meaningless. We fill our lives with things, and electronics... cell phones..ipods...ipads...laptops...camera's...movies... and especially people and friends...anything and anyone to distract us and waste our time and life. As we get older, those things eventually fade, they are nothing but a memory, that have done nothing to benefit our future, or benefit those around us, they have only wasted precious time we can't get back.
Eventually, those things will die out, and we've spent our lives investing in things like facebook and twitter, we are all guilty of it. I'm not excluded. Eventually, life will end, it's inevitable, it just will happen, it's something we can promise.
When we die, and are in heaven, what will we have invested in our eternity by our iPads,iPod's, luke-warm friends? Nothing. True life, isn't the one we are now living, the one we think we know oh-so-well, it's the one we have yet to come upon. Is there something greater than life itself? Yes there is! Love!... Love is the most powerful thing ever. the world revolves around it, living depends on it. "How could you say Love is better than Life?!" you might say...but...you must remember... God is love, and LOVE created life...therefore Love is better than life! (God is better than life!) without love (or God) we would have no life! Without love, we cannot live. We die first, inside, then eventually, it overtakes our bodies and kills us. Love is essential to living. Love IS greater than life itself. Remember that game ..."rock-paper-scissors" when you were a kid? and each one over took a different element? ...think of love as the one that tops all of them...Love is better than life. Love always wins. Love is greater than life itself. People everywhere, die for Love's sake (but usually the perverted love seen through the world's eyes) nevertheless people die for Christ sake also (love).
Christ came to demonstrate this to us Himself. God is love...when He came down in human form... to DIE for us... He didn't just die... but he showed us, that Love is more important then life could ever be. Although it seems like he was defeated, things are not always as they seem, He won the devil's "rock-paper-scissors" game... He won with love. Love is better than life. We know that 3 days after He died, He was raised from the dead. He didn't just rise to conquer death, but he conquered life. He conquered life with Love. Love is what rose Him from the dead. Love changed the course of life, and still continues to do so today. Once we know, and accept this love, we are given real life, forever. Life is beautiful. Love is beautiful. without life we wouldn't know love (God) and with out God we couldn't know life! So, I've said all this to simply say this, invest in things that matter, invest in heaven, invest in God (love), those things will last forever, use your life to show love. Love lasts. (human) life doesn't.
