Crazy Love. This Love is insane. Just straight insane.
Have you ever cared the world about someone? No matter what they did, to you, or at all, you still held on? You still looked to the good in them? Never changed your opinion of them, still respected, admired, and adored that person? Yeah? Did you ever feel like giving up? Did you? Yeah? Hm.
God probably knows what that's like. I mean, He loves, and cares for us insanely more than any of us could ever hope to love. The crazy thing about it is that, He knew before hand that we would be difficult to deal with. Yet the guy still holds on. Wow.
God never gave up on me.
For a long time I have pondered the question, what is Love? Love is incredibly abused in our culture. It is overused and has lost any significant meaning for the most part. I believe, Biblically, I have figured out the answer.
1st Corinthians goes through the attributes of Love. They are the results. That when you love someone, that is how you will treat them. Sure, we are human, we will fail, but we will fight for those attributes.
But Love, what does it mean to Love someone? Love is a choice to act. You choose to Love someone. And then you allow that choice to consume your actions towards them. And this is where these attributes play out.
Love doesn't give up. Ever. Just as God never left us even when we hated Him, so Love doesn't give up. Love never fails.
True love, is love with the person, not a body. Falling in love with who they are, not what they can give you. Falling in love with them, not what comes with them. If you can't love them when they aren't dying or disabled some how, then you don't really love them. One day, I want to be so crazy in love with someone, as I am being led by Christ, that even if she had cancer, I still would want to marry her. I want to love with a love that never gives up. Always holds on. Always fights. Always loves.

I want to love like that. Like Christ did. That even though the person may be broken, you still hold on.
It's so simple, that it will make most men choke. Crazy though. I hope to love like Christ.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it!
