Lovestruck - Ronald Molmisa

L-O-V-E. These are the letters that you can see, hear, touch, or even smell or taste everywhere. We seldom find ourselves thinking a certain scene that is connected to love. We always search for the right person, but don’t you think it’s about time to understand that love is not about finding the right person; it’s about how to be the one. Now, the question is, How will you know if it is TL (True Love) or PL (Puppy Love)? Let’s start with the PL.

•  PUPPY LOVE | Arf, arf, arf

              Everyone knows that puppies do silly things. They don’t think before doing something means that they are careless. They will be okay if someone taps their head that shows attention which we don’t know if it is sincere or not. This kind of love starts in the age of 7 and above. Even if your 30, 40 or even 60, if you don’t think first before acting and you don’t do good deeds, you’re still immature. What are the marks of a juvenile?

• They lack of understanding. They seldom misunderstood something and never let their loved one explain.
• They are easy to be deceived. They are just basing their beliefs in the action of somebody that is why they are easy to be betrayed.
• They are annoying. They always nag about everything. Yes, everything and always. They want to be the head of the relationship. They want to manipulate all the happenings and even the whole relationship.
• They are selfish. They are so jealous about everything; family, friends, relatives, school or even to God. It is because their hearts are not yet ready for commitment.
• They are so crazy. People today are really crazy to be in love. They think it’s cool and in-fashion, but it’s not. They see their loved one’s face everywhere. It’s not love but obsession. Love knows how to be in the right track; not too high or too low.

Lastly. . .

• They are infatuated. Infatuated came from the word “infatuation” means “a passion for somebody that is intense but short-time.” It can be change because it is just an emotion. Remember, emotion changes really fast; it only based on the physical which means that if the physical appearance of a person changes, the feelings will change too. Therefore, infatuation is too different from love.
• True Love | Ayieeeeee

              John stated in John 3:16 that “For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life”. Giving is one of the most important deeds in TL. Giving came from the word “give” which mean “to bestow without expecting something in return.” That’s what God did when He sacrifices His Son for us to die on the cross, to suffer from the torn and nails. He did it all for us! For us to refrain from going to hell and to have an eternal life. Imagine, the love that no one could ever replace is the love that God shows on the cross. A unique and pure love, God’s love.

™      Is “love at first sight” real?

“Searching for the my dream, the Subway Girl”

                                      
 A romantic love story surfed the Internet last 2007; a 21 year old New Yorker, Patrick Moberg, made a website (http://nygirlofmydream.com) to find a mystery girl that he saw wearing blue shirt and tides on the subway station. There came an Australian Magazine Intern, Camille Hayton. Many hang on to their love story that started on November 2007. They had a quiet relationship but on Feb 2009, Camille stated in her interview that they were already had a break up since July 2008. They just lasted two months. Their love story is one of the million examples of LFS.

Therefore, we can say that love at first sight is NOT true---

The truth is that it’s not love but attraction. According to Patrick-Camille Love story, Only Patrick did all the loving stuff; Camille just gave him a chance but she didn’t see any reason to continue their relationship.

 Is “an absolute and endless love” real?

“14 years? That’s what you called Patience”

If you really want to prove that true love is true, here’s one of many true-to-life love story that you can give. In Genesis 29, Jacob really showed his love for Raquel. Their love story started when Jacob first saw her, it really showed that he loves her, not only on words but also in works. In their culture, before someone asks for her loved one’s hand, he should work first for seven years in the girl’s family. Jacob really did what their culture said but when the seven years ended, Lavan, father of Raquel, made a feast for Jacob’s wedding. Not knowing that it was Lea, Raquel’s elder sister, who made love with Jacob. Jacob really got mad. Lavan explained that in their culture, the eldest should be married first before the youngest. So Jacob decided to wait and work another seven years and after his sacrifices and patience, they finally got married and Raquel gave birth to Joseph and Benjamin.

Can you do that? Can you wait for more than 1 month for a girl? This story wants to tell you that sacrifice, pain and hardship will never break a true love, only true love.

There is a love that is more glorious, great, absolute and endless than Jacob’s. If you want to know it, know God first whose love Himself. In Corinthians 13, the Bible stated that Love is everything that is good. Obviously, only one is qualified when we are talking about righteousness and He is our God. John 3:16 stated that God sacrifices His Son for us. He loves His Son yet He’s willing to sacrifice Him for us. Does your husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/friend/family can do that? And if yes, is it for you or for his/her own good? We always do bad deeds and there were times that we are ignoring Him yet He is still for us. That is the True Love that you are wanting for all of your love, you just don’t know it. Now you know it, are you willing to repent and take away your sins? How? Here is the way:
