true Love?

    Reading the title of this post, may have made you wonder what on earth an 18year old girl would post about love. Well I will put your mind at ease, this is not about a silly crush, and no, this is not about the latest hot guys on TV. Tonight I was sitting at the computer when I had these thoughts come racing into my mind.What is my goal in life? what am I trying to do? what's important to me? Why Go back to and orphanage in Haiti? What am I really called to do? then this thought , almost like a soft whisper, slowly filled all my thoughts and questions. I am called  simply to love God, and to love others. all of a sudden life seemed to seem so simple. But do I do that, that is my question. Our world has love upside down! the world says "Love is for you!"the World says " Love is something that makes you feel good, makes you feel special, love is something that you get from a person, love is about sex. Love is about being happy." But is this really true love? Love is patient, love is kind, it is slow to anger, there is more from 1 Corinthians 13,  but the one I want to focus on is love is not self seeking. Love is not self seeking. I am called to love the Lord with all my hear soul and mind, I am called to love other. not for me, but simply because I have been loved and redeemed by God, and as a Christian that is what I am called to do.there is no agenda in the love of God, and there should be no agenda in our love. Its so easy to say, yet sometimes so hard to live out. But that's the way I want to live.  Love has been so twisted by the human race,  Can we redeem love?
