Have you ever taken the time to think about what love really is? A lot of times, the media, TV and movies, paint the wrong picture about what true love is. Love should be about giving and not taking. And it's also about people. I've heard different times people say, "I'm sick of people. I'm not a people person." But we're surrounded by people every day! If we didn't have those other people, we wouldn't have people to build buildings, hospitals, provide transportation, etc. And teach us how to read and write and know right from wrong. It's God's love that creates such things. But I have to be honest I haven't done such a great job of loving people this week. It doesn't matter if it was early morning. I said some unnecessary words to my Dad. And it bothered me the whole day. It was such relief when he got home and I was able to ask for his forgiveness. I don't want to be that way, so don't follow my example. Don't take the people who love you for granted. Don't forget to take time out in your day to show them you love them. If you said something mean or harsh, take the time to apologize and ask for their forgiveness, if you mean it.
So let's take a look at this scripture. It's a great reference for showing us how to love genuinely. When Jesus spoke about his burden and yoke being light, I think he was talking about the burden of love, as it describes in the scripture as well.
