All my life I have been looking for love to make up for the attention I did not get as a child. I dreamed and fantasized about growing up and finding the right man to make me happy. It never occurred to me that love was waiting for me if I just looked in the right place.
I believe in this world today we are too dependent on human love to find the happiness we deserve. That kind of love has its place. But it is not nearly as fulfilling as the love between you and Christ (agape). Why?
Agape is real; it is never the result of our imagination.
Agape fills us up; human love is just dessert.
Agape does not change; it lasts forever.
Agape can change you for the better.
Agape comforts, inspires and guides us.
Agape is the only comfort we have when our world falls apart.
Agape love for us knows no limits.
Agape is not fickle. It can be shared with all without jealousy.
Agape is not possessive; we can still love others.
Agape is the only love worth dying for.
Agape came into my life in 1982. Then in 2015 it was transformed into a Christian journey. It has not been easy but it has made me happy and changed my life.
If you have ever been hurt by human love, please remember that agape will never, ever, be anything but exquisite.
