Stormy Faye The Christian Runaway Reposted from @godlycourting #Repost @professorphanor We must be rooted in God and bonded to non-romantic relationships before we awaken and honestly know how to love in romantic relationships. In Mark 12:30-31, Jesus is essentially telling us to love God so we can know how to love ourselves and then others. Before we start dating or pursuing someone, we should allow ourselves to go through a season of encountering love from parents, pastors, mentors, siblings, friends, and community. It's in those seasons that God uses those non-romantic relationships to shape us, affirm us, and help us to discover who we are in Him. When we don't follow that divine process, we often hear the phrase that has led many to make poor relational, dating, or marital decisions, "I'm just following my heart." When we fail to acknowledge God as the source of love and that willful obedience to His word is what true love is. It becomes easier to reduce love to just an emotion or feelings. Although experiencing certain emotions and feelings are good and not wrong to have. They can still be misleading. Ultimately love is a choice! Love is and comes from God, which is expressed through a relationship where we choose to follow His son, Jesus. Once where in a close relationship with Jesus, we begin to understand what love is and how to live out love in our relationships. Without us knowing Jesus and allowing His words to live in our hearts, we are easily deceived into making up our own version of what we think love is. I ❤️ you! . . . .
