“Love is not a feeling! Those who think that it is will also express selfishness. These are ‘two’ of many reasons why many marriages and relationships are failing i.e. selfishness and living like love is an emotion. Some BElieve that if you ‘are not feeling’ all giddy and bubbly that love is not alive. They have associated “I’m angry” with “I don’t love you.” Or, “You’ve pissed me off” has BEcome equivalent to “You don’t love me.” Or, “What you said hurt my feelings” has BEcome akin to “We just don’t love each other anymore.”
This is the world’s way of thinking and it is indisputably BOGUS. Love is not a feeling/emotion i.e. mad, angry, sad, blah, and frustrated. However, those emotions are produced by the LACK of love alive. Love is about patience, enduring, bearing, hoping, THINKING NO evil; it is kind and mature; it does not keep a tally of “this is what you did so that’s why I did what I did.”
When you BEcome your emotions, you enslave love. That is such an abject attitude. When you BEcome love, you have power over your emotions. Consequently, your feelings are managed by the higher court and judgment of what rules – YAH’s Love” (Smith, Angela M. 2012)!
