How should TRUE LOVE be?
Posted : 10 Oct, 2010 02:15 AM

I was listening to "a barefoot precious memory" cassette I recorded back in July of 1993 at my granmother's house in my hometown of Detroit, Michigan, yesterday, which contained a "select" collection of country music favorites from my hometown's popular country music station that I loved to listen to when I visited in Detroit ... "WWWW ... W4 Country ... 106.7 FM ... our call letters are easy to remember because they're all 'W' ..." ... and on this cassette was my favorite Vince Gill hit from 1993 titled "Look At Us" ... which is a beautiful illustration of the demontration of true, lasting love.



Part of the lyric for this love song is: "Chances are ... we'll go down in history ... when they wanna see how true love should be ... they'll just LOOK AT US!!!" This is my dream, hope and prayer for my marriage to the "barefoot gal" love of the rest of my life!!! :hearts::hearts::hearts:



As I enjoyed hearing this BAREFOOT PERFECT LOVE SONG by Vince Gill again, I was reminded of the examples in MY life of "how TRUE LOVE should be" and wondered what examples YOU have had in YOUR life of "how TRUE LOVE should be" ... in my life this love song's example was demonstrated profoundely by my mom and dad's love for each other, my grandparents love for each other, plus several aunts and uncles love for each other ... talk about LOVING commitment and devotion!!! ... each of them celebrated 25 year anniversaries and more, with my grandparents celebrating 50 years and more before one of then was called home to be with our Lord!!! :yay::yay::yay::applause::applause::applause:



But, of course, our GREATEST BAREFOOT EXAMPLE of TRUE LOVE is the unconditional, sacrificial TRUE AGAPE LOVE for us of our Father in Heaven, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our Helper, the Holy Spirit ... but next to them who has epitimized "how TRUE LOVE should be" in YOUR life and how did they do so?

Wow, when you asked this question, I felt sad because I don't think I have witnessed much true love in my life. I guess I would have to say my ex-inlaws. They were married 65 years. I can honestly say I have never seen a man so devoted to his wife as my ex-father-in-law was to his wife until the day he went to be with the Lord!! The true love I have had in my life has been Christ's love for me, which I believe is the greatest example of true love!!

I think true love is an action verb. Yes, feelings are involved and important, but feelings ebb and flow. Much more than how one feels...it is what one does. It is comprised of commitment, faithfulness and selflessness.



1 John 3:18

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
