Why Love?

We take life too much for granted. 
We act as if it will continue on without interruption or termination and then surprise or despair is our first response to tragedy. 
Uncontrollable situations don't have to be "as disturbing" if we have done everything we can, every chance we have, to express appreciation and love to those relationships we abide in. We do not see everyone everyday but when we do exchange conversations or meet with them an air of appreciation and value should be first place including an expression of fondness by "I love you", a hug, or a kiss. 
Those who end up going into some unexpected situation, no matter the loss or suffering will know that they were valuable and loved. This thought in itself gives people the will to fight on in recovery knowing that their continuing will be of value to others who love them.
Unexpressed love is valuable to no one and useless. Nothing is more devastating then the thought that you have no one to live for. The battle of life and death, many times hinges on "their need to be there" for someone.
A lifetime is given to each of us for just one purpose:
To receive love and give love.......real love.........unconditional love......forgiving love....accepting love......everyday, all the time.
Love that has to be earned is a lie and not love at all. Love is given, always, whether expected, received, returned or rebuked. 
Love has power by the giver not the receiver. Real love will win over the one it is lavished upon because love cannot fail. Again "God is love" and He cannot fail, if He did we would have no hope. 
So the questions remain..........Does your love fail at times? Do people know that you love them "always and all ways"? Does love have to be earned or proven before you return it?
If yes to any of these than love hasn't became a revelation of how God loves you so you can pass it on to others.
Know the love of God and pass it on.........."today".
Love
