Love Actually



You know what? I think the movies are right. Partially anyway, and a very big part partially wrong.

They always cast Love as being the most important thing in life,
and I guess it is, just not the way that they show it.


In the movies, love is all about finding someone good looking, that you can fall in love with and live happily ever after together.



 In real life, the real important thing is selfless love. The truest love of all.

"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends" John 15:13

Now that's selfless. I think the problem is, we're all seeking love, instead of giving love. Is love, Love, if it's selfish?

I want to be less selfish. I want to be selfless. But I'm so self absorbed, I think most people are, if they'll just pause and have an honest look at themselves.

I'm trying to focus my life more on Jesus, and ask him for his love to overflow through me so that I may be selfless...

That's my thoughts of the moment.


"If we live at the same level of affluence as others who have our level of income, we are probably giving away too little" 
~C.S Lewis
